Sealing Member Fitting Apparatus

A sealing member fitting apparatus, comprising:

• a sealing member holding device provided with a hollow sealing member;
• an electrical wire clamping device that clamps an electrical wire such that a lead-out member and a covering end portion of the electrical wire extend from one side thereof;
• a sealing member transfer device that switches between a sealing member receiving position that faces the sealing member holding device and a sealing member fitting position that faces the electrical wire clamping device, the sealing member transfer device receiving the sealing member in the sealing member receiving position and fitting the sealing member on the covering end portion of the electrical wire in the sealing member fitting position;
• and
• an electrical wire insertion guide device disposed between the sealing member transfer device and the electrical wire clamping device, the electrical wire insertion guide device being slidable along the electrical wire from the lead-out member of the electrical wire to the covering end portion of the electrical wire, the electrical wire insertion guide device positioning a central axis of the covering end portion of the electrical wire substantially coaxially with a central axis of the sealing member.
