## Abstract

A lead wire pull-out apparatus includes: a lead reel configured to have a lead wire wound thereon; two fixed lead bearings fixed at predetermined positions, on which the lead wire pulled out from the lead reel is slidable; a movable lead bearing arranged between the two fixed lead bearings, the movable lead bearing being movable in a vertical direction and configured such that a lower portion thereof is able to be in contact with the lead wire; and a press-down part configured to press down the movable lead bearing.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1: A lead wire pull-out apparatus comprising:
a lead reel configured to have a lead wire wound thereon;
two fixed lead bearings fixed at predetermined positions, on which said lead wire pulled out from said lead reel is slidable;
a movable lead bearing arranged between said two fixed lead bearings, said movable lead bearing being movable in a vertical direction and configured such that a lower portion thereof is able to be in contact with said lead wire; and
a press-down part configured to press down said movable lead bearing.

### Claim at position 2 (depends on 1)

2: The lead wire pull-out apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the size of said movable lead bearing is smaller than the size of said lead reel.

### Claim at position 3 (depends on 1)

3: The lead wire pull-out apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the weight of said movable lead bearing is smaller than the weight of said lead reel.

### Claim at position 4 (depends on 1)

4: The lead wire pull-out apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
said press-down part presses down said movable lead bearing by a predetermined pressing-down force to thereby pull out said lead wire from said lead reel, and then removes said pressing-down force after said lead wire is pulled out,
after said pressing-down force is removed, said lead pull-out apparatus pulls the lead wire from a side where said lead reel does not exist.

### Claim at position 5 (depends on 2)

5: The lead wire pull-out apparatus according to claim 2, wherein
said press-down part presses down said movable lead bearing by a predetermined pressing-down force to thereby pull out said lead wire from said lead reel, and then removes said pressing-down force after said lead wire is pulled out,
after said pressing-down force is removed, said lead pull-out apparatus pulls the lead wire from a side where said lead reel does not exist.

### Claim at position 6 (depends on 3)

6: The lead wire pull-out apparatus according to claim 3, wherein
said press-down part presses down said movable lead bearing by a predetermined pressing-down force to thereby pull out said lead wire from said lead reel, and then removes said pressing-down force after said lead wire is pulled out,
after said pressing-down force is removed, said lead pull-out apparatus pulls the lead wire from a side where said lead reel does not exist.
