This is achieved according to the invention by the measures specified in the characterizing part of claim 1, which have the following special significance.
  • the plunger also takes over the function of the transfer link.
  • the tappet detects the sealing plugs isolated in the slide directly, without additional components such as lifting devices, swivel fingers with receiving openings or the like being required for this.
  • the plunger is rotatably mounted at the transition point between the slide and the line end and, in its first rotary position, hereinafter referred to briefly as the “pick-up position”, performs a picking movement and takes the sealing plug out of the slide.
  • the plunger with the impaled sealing plug is then transferred to a second rotary position, hereinafter referred to as the "stripping position", in which the impaled sealing plug is pushed directly onto the line end by the plunger.
  • the device according to the invention manages with a minimum of components and uses the already necessary alignment position of the plunger with the line end for the correct positioning of the sealing plug.
  • an extension in the tappet sleeve belonging to the tappet, which receives the stepped sealing neck of the plug, is sufficient for centering the sealing plug.
  • the plunger is also a receiving element for the stopper.
  • the device comprises a storage container 10 for receiving sealing plugs 60 in the form of a tangled bulk material, a linear conveyor 20 with a slide 30 which delimits it at the end, and a specially designed and controlled tappet 40, which moves a sealing plug 60 to the end 52 piece by piece to the end 52 an electrical line 51 present as a section.
  • Line 51 is positioned by a line holder 50 provided in the device. Sections of such lines 51 are guided by a feed device 54, which is not shown in more detail, to the line holder 50 on the device side in the sense of the transport arrow 53 shown in FIG. 1.
