ABSTRACT:
A bandolier splice assembly 10 includes at least two bandoliers 20 connected by a splice member 30. Each bandolier 20 includes a bandolier strip with electrical contacts 20 secured at regular intervals by retaining sections 23. The splice member 30 is inserted into the trailing end of a first bandolier and into the leading edge of a second bandolier so that the electrical contacts 24 can be continuously fed to an assembly machine or operating station without any down time for changing bandoliers 20. The flat splice member 30 includes resilient legs 33 separated from the remaining body of the splice member 30 by slots. Each leg 33 includes a tooth 37 with inclined camming surface 38 for deflecting the flexible leg 33 and a gripping surface 39 to engage endmost retaining sections 23. A splice stop member 36 positions the two bandoliers 20 relative to each other so that the electrical contacts continue to spaced on the same regular intervals for sequential input to an operational station or machine.
