Abstract
A structure of a press-contacting holding part is not complicated so that press-contacting operation of press-contacting an electric wire to the press-contacting terminal is easily and precisely performed. According to the invention, an apparatus of press-contacting of electric wire includes a case holding part for holding case provided with a press-contacting terminal, an electric wire holding part for holding the electric wire positioned by the positioning part, a press-contacting driving mechanism for driving the electric wire held by the electric wire holding part so that the electric wire is pushed into a slot part of the press-contacting terminal to provide pressure contact therebetween.
Claims2
An apparatus for press-contacting an electric wire, comprising:
- a case holding part for holding a case in which a press-contacting terminal is stored;
- a positioning part for positioning the electric wire in the vicinity of the case holding part to be opposed to the press-contacting terminal;
- an electric wire holding part for holding the electric wire positioned by the positioning part;
- a press-contacting driving mechanism for driving the electric wire held by the electric wire holding part so that the electric wire is pushed into a slot part of the press-contacting terminal to provide pressure contact therebetween;
- a tension driving mechanism for driving the electric wire holding part in a direction along which the electric wire held by the electric wire holding part is tensioned;
- a cover holding part for holding a cover member that is fitted for covering a position at which the electric wire is held in the case;
- a fitting driving mechanism for driving the cover member held by the cover holding part so that the cover member is fitted into the case;
- and
- a loosening driving mechanism for driving, in response to the operation for fitting the cover member, the electric wire holding part in a direction along which the electric wire is loosened.
