Abstract
Abstract A TOOL FOR INSERTING A CONTACT INTO A CONNECTOR, AND TOI TEST WHETHER OR NOT THE INSERTION IS COMPLETE. THE TOOL HAS A PAIR OF JAWS FOR PUSHING THE CONTACT INTO THE CONNECTOR. IT HAS ALSO A PAIR OF GRIPPERS FOR GRIPPING THE CONDUCTOR. AFTER THE CONTACT IS INSERTED INTO THE CONNECTOR, THE TOOL IS PULLED IN A DIRECTION TO PULL THE CONDUCTOR AND THE CONTACT AWAY FROM THE CONNECTOR. THE TOOL CAN MOVE A SHORT DISTANCE RELATIVELY TO THE GRIPPERS, WHILE STRESSING A SPRING. THIS EXERTS A YIELDING PULL ON THE CONDUCTOR FOR A SHORT DISTANCE, AFTER WHICH THE GRIPPERS, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY PULLED THE CONTACT OUT OF THE CONNECTOR, ARE RELEASED FROM THE CONDUCTOR AUTOMATICALLY.
