  • Apparatus for terminating electrical wires
    Patent number: 5737830
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) is disclosed for holding and actuating a terminal applicator (20) in the attachment of terminals (28) to the ends of electrical wires. The apparatus includes a frame (12) that supports a conventional terminal applicator (20) and a crankshaft (58) journaled in the frame. A crank arm (44, 44') has its lower end (96, 96') eccentrically coupled to the crankshaft and its upper end (104, 104') coupled to the ram (34) of the terminal applicator. A motor (78) rotates the crankshaft, eccentrically moving the lower end (96, 69') of the crank arm, which causes the upper end (104, 104') of the crank arm to move the applicator ram vertically, thereby actuating the terminal applicator (20).
