ABSTRACT:
A method for attaching a wire-identifying tab to an electric wire end, the tab comprising a marking portion having identification mark and being a cylinder having a slit extending axially over the full length of the tab, the method comprising the steps of engaging the tab with a pair of rigid sheets in contact with each other at their upper portions, from their one ends and in parallel with them, subsequently inserting the wire end into the tab while the pair of sheets are displaced apart from each other perpendicular to the tab, and finally disengaging the sheets from the tab, thus fitting an outer surface of the wire end in the tab. An apparatus used in the method comprises a wire receiving section, a tab receiving section, at least one of the sections moves relative to the other to come into or out of contact therewith, the wire receiving section including a wire end supporter and a terminal supporter disposed with a distance substantially equal to the tab, the tab receiving section including a pair of rigid sheets extending parallel with the wire received on the section, a tab-holding space formed above the sheets so as to hold the tab, an urging means disposed remote from said section so as to elastically press the marking portion, and a retracting means retracting the sheets out of the space.
