Abstract
An alignment apparatus includes a plurality of holders capable of revolving and configured to support at least one of a first leg and a second leg of a segment and hold the segments in an arc-shape-aligned state. A revolving mechanism configured to revolve the holders includes turntables. Adjacent two of the turntables are coupled together via one of link members. For example, the link member is provided between the turntable and the turntable. As a result, a link mechanism is configured.
Claims8
An alignment apparatus for electric conductors, for annularly aligning electric conductors, each of the electric conductors including:
- a first leg and a second leg extending substantially in parallel with each other;
- and a folded-back portion connected between the first leg and the second leg, the apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of holders configured to support at least one of the first leg and the second leg and hold a plurality of the electric conductors in an arc-shape-aligned state;
- and
- a revolving mechanism configured to, by revolving the plurality of holders, revolve the arc-shape-aligned electric conductors and dispose the arc-shape-aligned electric conductors on a same circular circumference thereby annularly aligning the arc-shape-aligned electric conductors,
- wherein adjacent two of the plurality of holders are coupled together via one link member.
