Abstract

An assembling apparatus is adapted to assemble a case made of thin plate. The case has a bottom case and a top case, a latch formed on each side wall of the bottom case, and a locking spring formed on each side plate of the top case. When side plates of the top case are located at a predetermined position with respect to the top wall of the top case, the locking springs are fitted into the latches. The assembling apparatus includes a base configured to position and support the bottom case, an operation mechanism adapted to hold and move the top case, and a guide device disposed at the inner side of the latch. The guide device guides the side plate to the predetermined position, so that the locking spring on the side plate of the top case is capable of being fitted into the latch.
