Shifting device for manufacturing continuous terminals

Abstract

A shifting device for manufacturing continuous terminals includes a body and a shaft. The body is formed with a hole and an inlet and an outlet both communicating with the hole. A direction into the inlet and a direction out of the outlet are the same. The inlet is shifted a predetermined distance away from the outlet. The shaft is fitted with the hole of the body and defines a spiral channel with the body after fitting with the hole of the body. The spiral channel corresponds to the inlet and the outlet of the body. According to the structure, the continuous terminals enter the body from the inlet and travel along the spiral channel. Then, the continuous terminals travel out of the body from the outlet with a predetermined distance shifted away from the inputted terminals. Thus, the processes for manufacturing terminals without waste material can be simplified.
