ABSTRACT:
An electric wire-connecting portion (11) is formed by connecting together conductive ends of a plurality of electric wires (W). One end of a heat shrinkable tube (12) is sealed with hot melt adhesive (15). The heat shrinkable tube (12) is attached onto the electric wire-connecting portion (11). A tube holding tool (13) for protecting the one end of the heat shrinkable tube (12) against heat is attached to the one end of the heat shrinkable tube (12). The heat shrinkable tube (12) is heated to shrink thereby sealing the electric wire-connecting portion (11). The tube holding tool (13) includes a holding portion (13a) for holding the one end of the heat shrinkable tube (12), and a shaft portion (13b) integrally formed with the holding portion (13a). A tube shrinking machine (14) includes a heating section (19) for heating the heat shrinkable tube (12), a wire transporting section (17) for transporting a bundled portion of the electric wires (W), and a tool transporting section (18) for transporting the tube holding tool (13).
