In a wire-supplying device for making wire harnesses including a plurality of wire-supplying drums for supplying a plurality of wires, a wire-feeding roller for feeding the plurality of wires, and a weight roller on a sliding member supported slidably in a vertical direction to provide a desired tension to said plurality of wires, characterized in that:
- said sliding member is provided with a stopping member to be engaged with a stationary member of said device by actuation means, thereby stopping the vertical sliding of said sliding member.
A wire-supplying device for supplying electrical wires for making electrical harnesses, comprising:
- wire-supplying means for supplying a plurality of electrical wires;
- wire-feeding means for feeding the electrical wires;
- wire-guiding means for guiding the electrical wires from the wire-feeding means to a wire harness-making machine;
- movable sliding means having weight-roller means thereon engaging the wires between said wire-feeding means and said wire-guiding means for applying tension to the wires;
- stopper means for stopping movement of said movable sliding means;
- and
- actuation means for actuation of said stopper means to stop movement of said movable sliding means when discontinuity of at least one of the wires occurs.
