ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for assembling an electrically insulating sleeve to a terminated high tension lead for use in an internal combustion engine spark ignition system, the apparatus including a frame which in use is fixed. Supported on the frame is a sleeve carrier movable between a rest position and an advanced position. First and second releasable latch devices are associated with the sleeve carrier for retaining the sleeve carrier in its rest and advanced positions, and a mandrel assembly is supported by the frame and movable linearly relative to the frame in the same direction as the sleeve carrier between a rest position and an advanced position. The first latch is releaseable at a point in the movement of the mandrel assembly wherein the mandrel has engaged in a sleeve carried by the sleeve carrier. The mechanism is such that after release of the sleeve carrier the sleeve carrier is moved with the mandrel assembly so as to engage the sleeve containing the mandrel over the end region of the high tension lead. The second latch is then released to permit the sleeve carrier to return to its rest position, and during the return movement the mandrel assembly withdraws from the sleeve so that the sleeve is left in position on the end of the high tension lead, and the apparatus is returned to its rest position.
