Apparatus for fitting terminals and rubber stoppers on wires

An apparatus for fitting a rubber stopper comprising:

• a fitting apparatus body;
• an A-end terminal press-fitting section provided on the input side of said fitting apparatus body;
• a B-end terminal press-fitting section provided on the output side of said fitting apparatus body;
• a transfer section provided between said A-end and B-end terminal press-fitting sections and adapted to transfer an electric wire from said A-end terminal press-fitting section to said B-end terminal press-fitting section via said fitting apparatus body;
• and
• an automatic control circuit adapted to allow said A-end terminal press-fitting section, said fitting apparatus body and said B-end terminal press-fitting section to be sequentially interlocked with each other,
• said fitting apparatus body including;
• an aligned stopper successively feeding section having a parts feeder and a stopper successively feeding groove and adapted to successively feed rubber stoppers aligned in a row;
• a stopper transfer section adapted to take out and transfer each of said rubber stoppers from said feeding groove;
• a stopper housing portion adapted to receive said rubber stopper from said stopper transfer section and house said rubber stopper therein;
• and
• a wire press-fitting section having a mechanism adapted to retain said electric wire on an imaginary line passing through the center of said stopper housing portion and a mechanism for moving said stopper housing portion and said electric wire relative to each other.
