  • Patent number: 9868559
    Abstract: A label sticking device has a shaft, a cable holder, a drive, a press, and an actuator. The shaft has a rotational axis, and a cable receiving passageway extending along a longitudinal axis aligned with the rotational axis. The cable holder is positioned along the longitudinal axis and the rotational axis. The drive rotates the shaft about the rotational axis. The press has a body rotatably connected to the shaft, and a foot positioned on the body. The foot is movable between a pressing position proximate to the rotational axis, and a non-pressing position distal to the rotational axis. The actuator moves the press between the pressing position and the non-pressing position.

  • Publication number: 20150325970
    Abstract: A method of forming a terminating end of a cable, comprising the steps of: providing a cable; cutting a circumferential slit through an outer insulation layer; clamping a first section of the outer insulation layer with a first clamping device, and clamping a second section of the outer insulation layer with a second clamping device; displacing the first clamping device, separating the first section from the second section and exposing a section of a metal braid; displacing the first clamping device; pushing and pressing the exposed section to fold the exposed section into a braid protrusion portion; loosening the first and second clamping devices, and removing the cable from the first and second clamping devices; cutting the braid protrusion portion with a cutting device to form a protruding braid portion, the protruding braid portion; and removing the first section of the outer insulation layer and a first protruding braid portion.
