  • the guide plate 66 For loading the apparatus with a strip of terminals as described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the guide plate 66 is rotated in an anti-clockwise (as shown in FIG. 8) sense to expose the sheave 64. The end of the strip of terminals is then fed around the sheave 64, with the terminals projecting towards the sheave axis as shown in FIG. 6. The strip of terminals is then led around the block 45 by rotating the knob 52 and thus the wheel 46 which has previously been freed for rotation by raising the pawl 56 from the ratchet wheel 54, against the action of its spring 55. A first one, 48a (see FIG.

  • the cutting blade 36 enters the slot 76 so that the wires are severed between the edges of the slot 76 and the blade 36 so that depending end portions of the wires, which portions protrude from the slot 76 (as shown in FIG. 5) are trimmed off so as to fall from the apparatus.
  • the terminal on the anvil 50 is crimped to the end portions of the wires Wl to W3 (from which portions the excess parts have been trimmed as described above), in the die cavities of the dies 78 by cooperation between the anvil 50 and the internal surfaces ofthe die cavities.

  • the full stroke mechanism 104 is effective to prevent return movement of the lever 100 until the die carrier 60 and thus the die assembly 72 have been driven through a complete working stroke to crimp the terminal to the wires as described above.
  • the mechanism 104 releases and the operator pulls on the knob to return the lever 100 to its initial position.
  • the pawl 56 acts upon the ratchet wheel 54 to rotate the feed wheel 46 by one step so as to bring the next following terminal onto the anvil 50 and to cause the blades 38 to sever a terminal from the carrier strips 2 and 3.
  • the return movement of the lever 100 also causes the linkage by which it is connected to the die carrier 60, thus the die carrier 60 also, to be returned to their initial positions, this return movement being limited by the abutment of the pin 58 against the plate 86.
  • the crimped terminals As the feed wheel 46 is rotated step-by-step during operation of the apparatus, the crimped terminals, to each of which a wire of each cable end and also a tap wire have been connected, are ejected from the apparatus by engagement with ejection surfaces 124 of the block 24.
  • One of the crimped terminals is shown in FIG. 6, prior to its ejection and is referenced la.
  • the crimp height of the apparatus that is to say the length of stroke of the die assembly 72 towards the anvil 50 is adjustable by setting the wheels 118 to a desired angular position.
  • the die assembly 72 is nonadjustably fixed in relation to the block 82 and the crimp height cannot therefore be adjusted by adjusting the position of the die assembly 72 with respect to the block 82.

  • the central parts, mentioned above, of the wire guides are omitted.
  • the width of the wire cutting blade of the further guide block is dimensioned to fit snugly in slot of the further die assembly.
  • the terminal strip support block is not exchanged since the anvil has a plain working surface and is of a length to accommodate either the longer or the shorter terminals.
  • the apparatus operates in exactly the same way as described above. However, only one wire is introduced into the slot of the die assembly from either side of the apparatus.
  • the distance between the die set, into which the wires are loaded, and the position at which the crimped terminals are ejected from the apparatus is desirably short thereby reducing the amount of slack that must be provided in the wires to be spliced.
