Claims13
A forced aligning jig for loose wires, comprising:
- a retaining means for retaining a plurality of loose wires;
- a guiding means which has one end and another end, and wherein said one end is fixed to said retaining means;
- aligning means which is slidably supported by said guiding means and which forcibly aligns said plurality of loose wires;
- and
- a vertically extending aligning groove in said aligning means for aligning and storing the plurality of loose wires retained by said retaining means, and holding means in said aligning means for holding said plurality of loose wires which have been stored in said aligning groove in an aligned state;
- wherein said aligning groove is defined by vertical side walls and a bottom surface, the groove width between the vertical side walls is larger than a diameter D of a loose wire and less than two times the diameter D, and the relation of the depth T of said aligning groove to the number n of the loose wires and the diameter D is T=n.multidot.D.
