Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for applying progressive force to a wire positioned in a plate slot in which the plate is positively positioned against stops on a reciprocating carrier and the force is applied by arcuate feet on a journalled roller, the roller and the carrier being mounted on a rigid frame and coupled to maintain a predetermined angular position of the roller for every linear position of the carrier, thus assuring proper relative movement when the roller is turned by a crank.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
Apparatus for mechanically terminating a wire to a plate member having an open throated slot by applying force to the wire progressively from the open throat toward the slot, comprising, in combination, a frame, a carrier mounted on said frame for linear reciprocation, a roller journalled on said frame above said carrier, said carrier having stop portions for positively positioning a plate on said carrier, said roller having a radially projecting foot with an arcuate outer surface, means for coupling said roller and said carrier so as to maintain a predetermined angular position of the roller for every linear position of the carrier, and means for rotating said roller and reciprocating said carrier, said foot and said stop portions being positioned so that said outer surface applies progressive force to a wire over a slot in a plate when the plate is against said stop portions and the roller is rotated and the carrier is reciprocated.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
Apparatus for mechanically terminating a wire to a plate member having an open throated slot by applying force to the wire progressively from the open throat toward the slot, comprising, in combination, a frame, a carrier mounted on said frame for linear reciprocation, a roller journalled on said frame above said carrier, said carrier having stop portions for positively positioning a plate on said carrier, said roller having a radially projecting foot with an arcuate outer surface, means for coupling said roller and said carrier so as to maintain a predetermined angular position of the roller for every linear position of the carrier, and means for rotating said roller and reciprocating said carrier, said foot and said stop portions being positioned so that said outer surface applies progressive force to a wire over a slot in a plate when the plate is against said stop portions and the roller is rotated and the carrier is reciprocated.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The combination of claim 1 in which said means for coupling include a pair of gears on said roller meshed with a pair of racks on said carrier so as to provide balanced, non-skewing coupling between the roller and the carrier.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
The combination of claim 1 including a plurality of feet on said roller for applying force to a plurality of closely spaced wires to corresponding slots in the plate upon rotation of said roller and reciprocation of said carrier.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The combination of claim 1 including means for resiliently holding a plate against said stop portions.
