ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for use in the manufacture of a wiring harness of the kind including a plurality of conductive leads having their thermoplastic sheaths fused to a thermoplastic backing tape includes first and second rollers between which the leads and the thermoplastic tape pass in use. The rollers press the tape against the leads and at least one of the rollers is driven so that the leads and the tape are driven between the rollers as a result of rotation of the rollers. A hot air blower is movable relative to the rollers between an operative position and a rest position. In the operative position the hot air is blown onto the tape and the sheaths of the leads immediately before they pass between the rollers so that when pressure is applied to them by the rollers the heated surfaces fuse together. The rest position of the heater is spaced from the rollers so that hot air issuing from the heater is not directed onto the rollers.
