Abstract
A water stopping apparatus for causing a water stopping material to penetrate exposed core wires of a sheathed wire forming a wire harness includes a pair of dies which can abut against each other in a mutually opposed condition, thereby forming a pressurizing space in which an exposed portion of the core wires of the wire harness can be mounted, a filling portion for filling a water stopping material in the pressurizing space in which the exposed portion of the core wires is mounted, and a pressurizing portion for supplying pressurized gas into the pressurizing space to pressurize the same.
Claims10
A water stopping method of causing a water stopping material to penetrate exposed core wires of a sheathed wire forming a wire harness, the method comprising:
- arranging a portion of the wire harness between a pair of dies opposed to each other;
- holding the portion of the wire harness between the pair of dies to seal an exposed portion of the core wires arranged within a pressurizing space formed between the dies;
- filling the water stopping material in the pressurizing space;
- and
- pressurizing the interior of the pressurizing space.
A water stopping apparatus for causing a water stopping material to penetrate exposed core wires of a sheathed wire forming a wire harness, comprising:
- a pair of dies which is configured to form a pressurizing space in which an exposed portion of the core wires of the wire harness is mounted when the pair of dies abut against each other in a mutually opposed condition;
- a filling portion which fills the water stopping material in the pressurizing space in which the exposed portion of the core wires is mounted;
- and
- a pressurizing portion which supplies pressurized gas into the pressurizing space to pressurize.
