ABSTRACT:
A connector support for a harness making machine comprises a clip member pivotly mounted to a base structure. The clip member comprises a rigid bar and a spring extending at an angle with respect to the bar. The bar and spring capture orthogonal surfaces of a connector against a connector receiving face and a lip of the base structure. A lower corner of the connector can be clipped behind the lip by biasing the connector against the bar which thus pivots causing the spring to push the connector down against the receiving face. This design enables easy and rapid mounting of a connector to the support structure, as well as easy ejection of the connector therefrom by an ejector pin. The support is for camming the connector on a conveyor system of a harness making machine for processing such as block loading etc.
