Abstract: An apparatus is provided to simplify the construction of an assembling apparatus and shorten a tact time thereof for inserting a plurality of fuse into a box. In a fuse box assembling apparatus 1, fuses are fed one by one through outlets 2a of parts feeding units 2 provided for the respective kinds of fuses, and are inserted into a movable magazine 30. The movable magazine 30 is displaced to the respective outlets 2a by a displacing unit 5, thereby collecting necessary fuses in a specified order. The fuses are transferred from the movable magazine 30 to a fixed magazine 40 at once by a transferring mechanism 6 of the mounting unit 4, and are inserted one by one into a box by an inserting mechanism 7. Simultaneously with a fuse inserting operation, fuses to be inserted next are collected in the movable magazine 30.

Abstract: A bellows tube installation device comprises a first clamp mechanism 4 for holding a bellows tube T placed over a tube guide 1. The first clamp mechanism 4 is displaced toward the distal end portion of the tube guide 1 along tube guide, so that a slit of the bellows tube having reached the distal end of the tube guide 1 is enlarged. An electric wire W is inserted into the bellows tube T at the distal end portion thereof through such an enlarged slit. The bellows tube T, having the electric wire W inserted therein at the distal end portion thereof, is clampedly held by a second clamp mechanism 6. The second clamp mechanism 6 is displaced along the electric wire W toward the distal end of the electric wire by a second displacement mechanism 7, whereby the bellows tube T is entirely fitted over the electric wire W.

Abstract: A binding apparatus has a pair of arms provided on a frame so as to be pivotal in opposite directions. A gear mechanism interlocks the arms with each other. Hooks are provided on an end of each of the arms between which a rubber band, shorter than a bundle of cables in the peripheral length thereof is spanned having a slidable rod coupled thereto. A maintaining device maintains the open position of the arms, and a releasing device releases the maintaining device. When an unlocking lever is pressed downward by the weight of a bundle of electric cables placed in the center of the rubber band spanned between both hooks provided on both arms while in the open position, the stopper disengages from the gear and the arms pivot toward each other to place the rubber band around the bundle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a binding machine for binding a bundle of linear members such as electric wires. The binding machine has a drum-like rotary member mounted for rotation in one direction. The rotary member has a notch extending radially inwardly to the area around the center thereof such as to provide a substantially U-shaped work holding portion. The rotary member further has a tape guiding portion extending radially outwardly therefrom and provided with a pair of guide pins which are spaced in the radial direction of the rotary member. A cutting blade is disposed between two concentric circles along which the guide pins move when the rotary member rotates. The cutting blade is directed counter to the direction of rotation of the rotary member. A tape roll holding means is mounted on the frame and adapted for holding a tape roll such that the leading end of the tape extracted therefrom is lead to a position in front of the radial opening of the tape holding means.
