Continual crimper

A continual crimper equipped with:

• an apparatus (4) for transferring a belting assembly (3) of crimping electric connection pieces, made of a plurality of the crimping electric connection pieces (1) in a group juxtaposedly disposed at regular spacing intervals in parallel posture with their electric-wire-tip-end-insertion opening uniformly facing to one side, integrally united together with interconnecting planar members (2) thus to make up such a belting, the transfer being intermittent inching at a constant pitch corresponding to the said regular spacing interval so as to consecutively advance the crimping electric connection pieces (1) along the direction of the juxtapostion of the group;
• a movable die for crimping--by reciprocating movement thereof during the halting period of said intermittent apparatus (4)--the crimping electric connection piece (1) each as supplied unitwise by the transfer by means of the apparatus (4);
• and a driving element adapted to move intermittently;
• the continual crimper being characterized in that a driving mechanism is provided, in between the said driving element and the said movable die (6) for forcibly reciprocatingly moving the movable die (6) in accordance with the intermittent movement of the said driving element;
• and further that an interconnecting mechanism (10) is provided as adapted to cause the transferring apparatus (4) to move stepwise by a constant amount every time in accordance with forced restoring movement of the said movable die (6) which movement is driven by the movement of the movable die (6).
