ABSTRACT:
A wiring loom includes a multiplicity of shouldered pins and a table for receiving and releasably holding the pins in position to define paths for a wiring harness. The table includes a mesh which allows ends of the pins to pass and enter a resilient penetrable layer below the mesh. The mesh cooperates with the pins to prevent complete passage of the pins through it. Wires are held by injecting the leading end of a wire into the mesh, looping the wire around a start pin and then laying the wire along paths defined between pairs of pins. The wire may finely be looped around a terminating pin. Collars may be disposed over the pins to provide a platform for the wire. In a preferred form there is a further light nylon mesh above the first mesh. The pins can pass through this light mesh. When a wiring harness is completed, the light mesh is raised to free the harness from the pins and the table is inverted so that the harness falls onto a conveyor. The table is then ready to receive the wires of a subsequent, identical harness. When a production run of harnesses is completed, the first mesh is separated from the resilient penetrable layer so as to free the pins from the latter layer. Inversion of the table causes the pins to fall onto a conveyor. Reinversion of the table makes it ready to receive a new pattern of pins.
