Definitions

  • the invention relates to apparatus for connecting wires in an electrical connector.
  • the wire connecting apparatus is adapted to connect wires in the electrical connector shown in Figure 1 and described in more detail in our copending application (8994) of even date to which reference is hereby made.
  • the connector 10 comprises upper and lower insulating housing parts 11 and 13 relatively rotatable by radially extending arms 26 and 49, respectively, to urge wires 2, when inserted in passageways 23, into a slotted contact member fixed in the lower housing part.
  • the upper surface of the upper housing part 12 is formed with a pair of parallel grooves 29 on each side of the mouths of the passageways 23 and the lower surface of the lower housing part is formed with a single diametric groove 48.
  • the wire connecting apparatus comprises a head 61 comprising a framework 62 defining a passageway providing a connector feed path 63 extending to an operating station 64.
  • a plate member 66 defining an upper wall of the passageway is formed with two spaced parallel ribs 67 extending longitudinally and laterally offset from the centre line of the passageway for engagement in the complementary grooves 29 on the connectors to guide the connectors along the passageway in a constant rotational position.
  • a spigot 68 upstands from a bottom wall 69 of the passageway at an exit end of the operating station to provide a connector stop.
  • a trigger 71 is pivotally mounted at 72 in a clevis 73 provided in the head on one side of the connector feed path for movement relatively towards a handle 70 against the action of a compression spring 81.
  • a bell crank lever 74 is pivotally mounted intermediate its ends on a frame extension 75.
  • the short arm of the bell crank lever is formed with a slot 93 in which a pin 76 fixed to trigger 71 is freely located and the long arm of the bell crank lever arm extends under the connector feed path 62 into a cavity 77 provided in the head on the other side of the passageway.
  • a pawl 78 is pivotally mounted on the free end of the long arm and biassed by spring 80 against a spigot 79 fixed in the arm defining with the bell crank lever an escapement mechanism.
  • a flat coil spring 81 is mounted in a housing 82 mounted on the head and is adapted to provide a substantially constant biassing force irrespective of extended length.
  • the handle 70 defines a through-passageway adapted releasably to receive a connector magazine 83.
  • the magazine is of rectangular cross-section and defines a connector-receiving passageway 84 having a pair of connector guiding ribs 85 aligned with the ribs 67 in the operating head and laterally offset from the longitudinal centre line of the passageway to provide a clearance for connector arms 26,49.
  • the magazine has a longitudinally extending slot 86 in a lower wall receiving a hooked end 87 of the spring 81.
  • a loaded magazine is inserted into handle 70 and a hooked end 87 of the spring 81 engaged with the rearmost connector 10, urging the connectors in tandem relation along the feed path to the operating station retained in a constant rotational position by guiding ribs 67 and 85.
  • the leading connector is restrained from movement beyond the exit end of the operating station by engagement with spigot 68.
  • the wires are then inserted through slot 87 in plate member 66 into the connector. Operation of the trigger in the position shown in Figure 3 causes the pawl to engage arm 49 rotating the lower housing part relative to the upper housing part urging the slotted contact member against the wires to splice them electrically together.
