Abstract: A wire guide nozzle 1 is provided by a single member. The wire guide nozzle 1 is provided by a piece of long-size body 5 which has a nozzle 2 formed to penetrate the body 5 in the longitudinal direction and a wire check pin 4 assembled so as to cross the nozzle 2 and slide in the lateral direction. Provided at proper intervals in the longitudinal direction of the long-size body 5 are a plurality of wire nipping spaces 6, 7, 8 which allow rollers for interposing a wire 3 to enter the spaces.

Abstract: A protective bag is applied to fruit growing on a plant for protecting the fruit from disease, insects, birds and so forth. The bag is colored with a coloring agent which has a property to gradually lower its sunlight shielding characteristic in response to irradiation by sunlight. The coloring agent initially provides substantially complete sunlight shielding characteristic and the sunlight shielding characteristic is lowered at a given rate to its minimum sunlight shielding characteristics.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a terminal crimping machine which assures that undesirable bending of a cable caused due to the fact that a terminal firmly fitted into a crimper is raised up together with the crimper after the time of terminal crimping is reduced as far as possible. A terminal crimping machine includes a crimper 3, an anvil 4 located opposite to the crimper 1, and a stopper 13 composed of a terminal disconnecting piece 14 and an arm piece 15, and the arm piece 15 is turnably disposed on a guide frame 11 of the ram 2 to turn about a pin 12. A tension spring 20 is bridged between the arm piece 15 and a spring fixing piece 19. As the ram 2 is lowered, it comes in slidable contact with the arm piece 15 so as to allow the arm piece 15 assume an upright attitude. At this time, the terminal disconnecting piece 14 is located at the terminal disconnecting position higher than the anvil 4 by a predetermined distance.
