ABSTRACT:
An automatic terminal applicator in which stripped wire ends are automatically guided and inserted into the insulation and wire barrel portions of terminals attached to a moving belt is disclosed. The belt is indexed through the crimping station between the upper and lower insulation and wire crimping dies of the press. A split funnel guide includes a spring-loaded portion and a complementary stationary portion respectively fastened with the upper and lower crimping dies. When the dies are closed, an aperture is formed at the apex of the funnel immediately adjacent the insulation portion of the leading terminal and whose cross-sectional area is no greater than the corresponding area of the insulation portion of the terminal. The wire is positioned transversely of the terminal and coaxial therewith. Thereafter, the wire is inserted into the funnel and guided thereby into the barrel of the terminal. Upon completion of the crimping operation, the dies, and therefore the split funnel, are separated thereby permitting the completed lead to be indexed or ejected away from the crimping station.
