  • Patent number: 4654967
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of arranging flexible, insulated conductors of a bundle of unaligned electrical conductors into an aligned mutual position before soldering the stripped ends of the conductors (27) to conduction paths of a contact member, for example of a printed circuit board. The unaligned conductors (25) are drawn from an unaligned position between the flush teeth (13, 14) of two combs (9, 11) until the transitions of the insulated parts of the conductors (26) to the stripped parts (27) have just passed the first comb (11), whereupon the conductors are clamped in narrow spaces (15, 16) between the teeth (13, 14). The two combs (9, 11) are arranged on a base plate (3). The teeth are thin at the top (17, 19) and become broader at the base (21, 23).
