ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for forming electrical splices from a continuous supply band. The apparatus includes feeding means for feeding a preselected length of the supply band to a forming station; clinching means positioned beneath the forming station; forming means for forming said preselected length into a generally U-shaped configuration; driving means for driving the U-shaped configuration into the clinching means; and operating means for simultaneously moving the forming means and the driving means in a forward direction for a preselected length of travel sufficient to effect formation of said U-shaped configuration by said forming means and for thereafter moving only said driving means in said forward direction to drive said U-shaped configuration into said clinching means. A removable container is also disclosed which houses the continuous supply band of electrically conductive material from which the splices are formed in the apparatus with which the container is associated. The housing has an exit passageway through which the supply band may pass, and further includes feeding means carried by the housing for advancing preselected lengths of the supply band through the exit passageway and into the associated splice-forming apparatus. A supply band is also disclosed for use with such an apparatus for forming electrical splices therefrom, the supply band comprising a continuous length of flat electrically conductive material having notches at preselected locations along the length thereof. The distance between each pair of adjacent notches corresponds to the preselected length which is fed from the aforementioned container into the apparatus from which an electrical splice is formed and driven about a pair of electrical wires to be connected.
