Wire Handling for Vehicle Glazing Panel Cut Out

Abstract

A dispensing system for dispensing cutting wire to be used in a glazing panel cut out procedure has a mounting device with a docking station for docking a wire store device. The wire store device mounts on the docking station in order to dispense the wire. The mounting device can have a rotary means operable to pay out cutting wire from the system. The rotary means is controllable to adjust the applied torque required to operate the rotary means.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A dispensing system for dispensing cutting wire to be used in a glazing panel cut out procedure, the system comprising:
 a mounting device arranged to be mounted on a glazing panel, the mounting device being provided with rotary means operable to pay out cutting wire from the system, wherein the rotary means is controllable to adjust the applied torque required to operate the rotary means.   
     
     
         2 . A dispensing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 adjustable brake means operable to adjust the applied torque required to operate the rotary means.   
     
     
         3 . A dispensing system according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 the adjustable brake means comprises a friction brake which is tightenable to increase the braking effect or relaxable to reduce the braking effect.   
     
     
         4 . A dispensing system according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the rotary means comprises a rotary device to which a wire store device is arranged to be coupled, the system including adjustable brake means engaging with the rotary device and operable to adjust the applied torque required to operate the rotary device.   
     
     
         5 . A dispensing system according to  claim 4 , wherein:
 the adjustable brake means is operated by a cam and lever.   
     
     
         6 . A dispensing system according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the mounting device is provided with a docking station for docking a wire store device.   
     
     
         7 . A dispensing system according to  claim 6 , wherein:
 the wire store device is arranged to be mounted on the docking station in order to dispense wire.   
     
     
         8 . A dispensing system according to  claim 6 , wherein:
 the wire store device is demountable from the docking station.   
     
     
         9 . A dispensing system according to  claim 6 , wherein:
 the docking station is provided with said rotary means.
