ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for mechanically processing (cutting to length, crimping and/or bending) the connecting wires of electrical components and being of a generally similar nature to that of U.S. Pat. No. 3,900,053. The present invention, however, provides for the various toothed wheels, which are mounted on a rotatable main shaft, to be readily removable for the purpose of exchanging them for others in order to adapt the apparatus to the processing of different components. To this end, the toothed wheels are mounted on sleeves on the main shaft and the latter has a bearing arrangement at one end which includes a detachable bearing plate mounted in a aperture in the apparatus housing, which allows the toothed wheels to be drawn off the main shaft over that end and through the aperture when the bearing plate is detached and the toothed wheels unclamped from the main shaft. Also, the cutting, crimping and bending tools, which cooperate with respective ones of the toothed wheels (namely, transporting, crimping and bending wheels) are supported directly on the apparatus housing and are positionally adjustable independently of the toothed wheels. Various other features are described, including an improved form and arrangement of counter-holders for control of processing forces and providing ramps for the ejection of the connecting wires from the toothed wheels when they have passed the tools, and the provision of both main and auxiliary cross-members, the latter for supporting additional tools, possibly including impact tools.
