Abstract: A device is provided for automatically dispensing terminals for electric cables into the receptacle of a reception part. The device includes a tubular body containing the terminals, means for causing a relative movement of the body and of the reception part, and resilient grippers mounted on the body and resiliently urged so as to close a lower orifice of the body and thus retain the terminals. An abutment is provided integral with the reception part for causing the grippers to open when the body and the reception part are brought into contact.

Abstract: A device for fitting and crimping end pieces on electric conductors includes an end-piece distributor, a holding device for maintaining the end of the conductors in position and a device for transferring the end-pieces from the distributor to the holding device and for positioning the end pieces on the ends of the conductors at the end of such transfer. The transfer device includes a crimping device as well as a closure means, partially closed at rest, which may pass to the open condition under the action of stop devices provided respectively close to the distributor and the holding means so as to make possible access to and/or removal of the end piece.

Abstract: A machine is provided for automatically fitting connecting end-pieces to the ends of electric conductors, including a structure movable in translation inside a fixed structure with a first translational movement, and a carriage movable in translation in the mobile structure and able to move in line with an end-piece supply station and a station for guiding and holding the end of the conductors in position. This carriage includes a stripping device, an end-piece reception means and, associated with this reception means, an end-piece crimping device.
