Abstract: A seal-feeding station includes a seal receiver (21) for receiving a waterproof seal (20) fed through a seal feeding tube (16) and a seal keeper (23) for keeping the waterproof seal (20) transferred from the seal receiver (21) in an electric-wire insertion position. The seal receiver (21) includes a slider board (27) which is supported slidably between a standby position and a transfer position and includes an acceptance hole (27b) in which the waterproof seal (20) is fit in when the slider board (27) is in the standby position, and a push pin (38) which is movable forward and backward, is located so as to face the acceptance hole (27b) of the slider board (27) when the slider board (27) is in the transfer position, and moves forward to push the waterproof seal (20) fit in the acceptance hole (27b) and transfer the waterproof seal (20) to the seal keeper (23).

Abstract: A wire processing apparatus includes an applicator (60) for crimping a crimp contact onto an end of a wire (2) and solder depositing units (7, 8) for depositing solder onto an exposed core on the wire end, all of which serve as wire processing units. The applicator (60) and the solder depositing units (7, 8) are attachable to and removable from a placement section (13a) and are interchangeable with each other. Each of the solder depositing units (7, 8) includes a flux bath (15) for storing a flux liquid therein, a solder bath (16) for storing solder in a molten state therein, and a flux liquid holding tube having a holding hole for holding the flux liquid therein and capable of releasably receiving the core. The core is moved downwardly into a solder portion raised by the surface tension of the solder stored in the solder bath 16, whereby the solder is deposited on the core.
