Abstract
A heat shrinkable tube mount method includes fitting a terminal of a terminal-equipped electric wire to a terminal fit recess of a lower frame provided on a base, sheathing a core wire crimp section of the terminal led out of the lower frame with a heat shrinkable tube containing therein an adhesive and bringing a one tube end into contact with a dam wall of the lower frame, restricting movement of the terminal, by covering the terminal fit recess with an upper frame that is joined to the lower frame in a turnable manner, pinching a portion of a peripheral wall of the heat shrinkable tube between a tube fixing claw on the upper frame and the terminal at an instant when the upper frame covers the terminal fit recess, and turning a clamp lever to a pinching position.
Claims6
A heat shrinkable tube mount method comprising:
- fitting a terminal of a terminal-equipped electric wire to a terminal fit recess of a lower frame provided on a base;
- sheathing a core wire crimp section of the terminal led out of the lower frame with a heat shrinkable tube containing therein an adhesive and bringing a one tube end into contact with a dam wall of the lower frame;
- restricting movement of the terminal in a direction orthogonal to one plane of the terminal, by covering the terminal fit recess with an upper frame that is joined to the lower frame in a turnable manner;
- pinching a portion of a peripheral wall of the heat shrinkable tube between a tube fixing claw projectingly provided on the upper frame and the terminal at an instant when the upper frame covers the terminal fit recess;
- and
- turning a clamp lever, which is provided on the base in a turnable manner, to a pinching position, where the clamp lever pinches the lower frame and the upper frame.
A heat shrinkable tube mounting jig comprising:
- a lower frame that is provided on a base and that has a terminal fit recess for restricting in-plane movement of a terminal of a terminal-equipped electric wire;
- a dam wall that is formed on the lower frame and with which a one tube end of a heat shrinkable tube, in which a core wire crimp section of the terminal is sheathed, is brought into contact;
- an upper frame that is joined to the lower frame in a turnable manner and covers the terminal fit recess, to thus restrict movement of the terminal in a direction perpendicular to the one plane of the terminal;
- a tube fixing claw that is provided projectingly on the upper frame and that pinches a portion of a peripheral wall of the heat shrinkable tube along with the terminal;
- and
- a clamp lever that is provided on the base in a turnable manner and that is turned to a pinching position, to thus pinch the lower frame and the upper frame.
