ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for winding and tightening a band clip (10) around a wiring harness (1) is provided with a base member (100) with a clip retaining means (120) for retaining a clip portion (2) of the band clip (10) in such a manner that a clipping direction (A) and a receiving direction (B) of a band receiving portion (3) extend substantially parallel to each other; a band tip deflecting member (200), movable with respect to the base member (100), for deflecting a band tip (6) of the band clip (10) around the wiring harness (1) towards and through the band receiving portion (3) by reducing the distance between the base member (100) and the band tip deflecting member (200); and a band tightening member (300), movable with respect to the base member (100), for gripping and pulling the band tip (6) having passed the band receiving portion (3) to tighten the band portion (4) by increasing the distance between the base member (100) and the band tightening member (300). This apparatus allows a high degree of automation, highly regular and uniform winding, and tightening of several band clips around a wiring harness and a high operability in connection with the production of wiring harnesses where a minimum working space is sometimes available for winding and tightening the band clips.
