Apparatus for finishing stripped end of shield wire

An apparatus for finishing a stripped end of a shield wire (1), the shield wire having sequentially an inner sheath (7), a knitted layer (2), and an outer sheath (5) preliminarily stripped by a predetermined length from an end of the shield wire to expose the knitted layer, the apparatus comprising:

• a shield stopper (3) mated with the shield wire over the exposed knitted layer until the shield stopper abuts against a stripped end of the outer sheath,
• a metal shell piece (4) preparatorily mated with the shield wire between the inner sheath and the knitted wire layer to expand the knitted wire layer,
• a clamp means (9) for clamping the shield stopper,
• a push means (19) for pushing the preparatorily mated metal shell piece to abut against the shield stopper, and
• a first cutter (11) and a second cutter (13) for shearing the exposed knitted layer while the first cutter moves along the gush means,
• wherein the push means is a pipe member (12) mated over the inner sheath and is movable relative to a support body (10) opposed to the clamp means, and
• wherein the first cutter is opposed to the clamp means and guides the pipe member to move relative to the support body, and the second cutter is mounted on the pair of clamp blocks opposed to the first cutter.
