  • Patent number: 8511454
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an elliptic rubber stopper supply method and device thereof, which can smoothly and steadily supply an elliptic rubber stopper to an assembling side of a rubber stopper without blocking a supply route with the rubber stopper. The elliptic rubber stopper supply device sprays alternately a gas on a rubber stopper, matches a minor axial direction of the rubber stopper to a spraying direction of the gas, and inserts the rubber stopper into an elliptic first hole in that condition. Also, the device includes first shape corrective portion for correcting a shape of the rubber stopper. The first shape corrective portion has a rubber stopper receiving portion and a pair of air outlets for spraying alternately a gas on both side surfaces of the rubber stopper. One of the air outlets is arranged on the one side of the rubber stopper receiving portion, the other is arranged on the other side thereof. Each the air outlet is offset in a rubber stopper axial direction and located.

  • Patent number: 6393684
    Abstract: An upper and a lower rubber plug holders are provided with fixed arms to be inserted and held in upper and lower fixed blocks, and operatively pushed parts at ends of the fixed arms. The upper and lower fixed blocks are provided with slots in which the fixed arms are inserted and held and from which the operatively pushed parts are protruded on the side opposite to the insertion side. The slots are provided with balls and coil springs which fix the fixed arms inserted into the slots by the insertion of the fixed arms into the slots and allow the fixed arms to be pulled out of the slots by a push of the operatively pushed parts. This structure shortens time to change the parts and ensures easy and positive change of the parts.

  • Publication number: 20010023884
    Abstract: The invention provides an electric wire feeding apparatus which can be easily changed at a low cost and without a great design change from the roll feeding type apparatus to the belt feeding type apparatus. In an electric wire feeding apparatus having an electric wire base table (21), a pair of rotary shafts (25, 26) arranged in both sides of an electric wire (W) of the electric wire base table (21), and rotating bodies (47) fixed to the respective rotary shafts (25, 26) via attaching and detaching means (27), there are provided a pair of belt feeding units (C), each having a belt feeding table (45), a driven pulley (46) rotatably supported to the belt feeding table (45), a drive pulley (47) having a rotational position restricted by the belt feeding table (45), and a belt (48) wound between the drive pulley (47) and the driven pulley (46).

  • Patent number: 6279215
    Abstract: In an automatic wire cutting and terminating apparatus having a clamping mechanism (60) that grasps a wire (W) when it is returned from a terminal crimper to a cutting and stripping unit, the clamping mechanism (60) is formed by a first support (63), and upper clamp (64) provided on the first support (63), a second support (65) provided so as to be slidable up and down with respect to the first support (63), a lower clamp (66) provided on the second support (65), and drive source (69) having a cam follower (67) that engages with cams (63c) and (65c) provided on each of the supports (63) and (65), wherein movement of the cam follower (67) by the drive source (69) causes the upper and lower clamps (64) and (66), via the supports (63) and (65) and the cams (63c), to move together or apart.
