Abstract
Terminal applicator for crimping closed barrel terminals in strip form onto wires has a reciprocable ram, crimping dies on the ram, an anvil for supporting the terminal during crimping, and strip feeding and severing means for feeding terminals to the crimping zone. The anvil is normally in a retracted position and the strip is fed to position the leading terminal of the strip on the housing when the anvil is in its retracted position. Thereafter, the leading terminal is severed from the strip and the anvil is moved to an extended position in which it is at the crimping site. During such movement, a wire held at the crimping site is located in the terminal and upon movement of the dies towards the anvil, the terminal is crimped onto the wire.
