Abstract
A connector holder holds a connector of a flat cable. Cable-folding members are provided on an arrangement path for the flat cable having the connector. The cable-folding member is provided at each of the folding positions of the flat cable that are specified on the arrangement path. The cable-folding member includes a positioning section for disposing the flat cable on the arrangement path and a direction-defining section for specifying a folding angle of the flat cable F in association with the positioning section. A successive folding apparatus and a successive folding method can enhance accuracies in dimension and operation in a successive folding process of a flat cable F.
