Abstract
A rotation regulating mechanism (43) is disposed on a terminal chuck (41) for holding a wired terminal (T). The rotation regulating mechanism (43) is arranged to regulate the rotation of the wired terminal (T), allowing an operation of inserting the wired terminal (T). Even if the terminal chuck (41) has to receive a wired terminal (T) from a terminal positioning device (30) having an inverting function, the rotation or positional shift of the wired terminal (T) can be regulated.
Claims7
A terminal inserting apparatus for inserting a wired terminal, formed by a terminal attached to an end of an electric wire, into a connector housing after receiving the wired terminal from a terminal positioning device capable of positioning the wired terminal by rotating the wired terminal around an axis of an electric wire forming the wired terminal, said terminal inserting apparatus comprising:
- a terminal chuck for guidably holding a wired terminal carried by the terminal positioning device;
- a wire chuck for holding an electric wire of the wired terminal carried by the terminal positioning device, and for inserting the wired terminal into a connector housing in association with said terminal chuck by which the wired terminal is being held;
- and
- rotation regulating means disposed on said terminal chuck for regulating a displacement of the wired terminal held by said terminal chuck in a state where the wired terminal is only relatively movable with respect to said terminal chuck when said wire chuck acts an inserting operation.
