Abstract

Abstract A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INSERTING CONTACT TERMINALS INTO COIL BOBBINS IS DISCLOSED. APPARATUS COMPRISES AN INDEXIBLE TURNTABLE HAVING A PLURALITY OF BOBBIN HOLDING JIGS. A FIXED TABLE, LOCATED BENEATH THE INDEXIBLE TURNTABLE, HAS A PLURALITY OF BOBBIN INSERTERS WHERE TERARE POSITIONED IN JIGS AND CARRIED TO INSERTERS WHERE TERMINALS ARE INSERTED. IN ACCORDANCE WITH METHOD ASPECT,, THE BOBBINS ARE MOVED TOWARDS THE TERMINALS TO ACCOMPLISH THE INSERTING OPERATION. (APPARATUS FOR INSERTING CONTACT TERMINALS INTO INSULATING BLOCKS, SUCH AS BOBBINS, COMPRISES AN INDEXIBLE TURNTABLE, HAVING A PLURALITY OF BOBBIN HOLDING JIGS MOUNTED THEREON, AND A FIXED TABLE, LOCATED BENEATH THE TURNTABLE, ON WHICH A PLURALITY OF TERMINAL APPLICATORS ARE MOUNTED. BOBBINS AREAPPROXIMATLEY POSITIONED IN THE JIGS AT A LOADING STATION AND ARE CARRIED PAST THE SEVERAL INSERTING STATIONS. EACH BOBBIN JIG HAS CLAMPING MEANS WHICH IS ACTUATED BETWEEN THE LOADING STATION AND THE FIRST INSERTING STATION AND WHICH CLAMPS THE BOBBIN TO THE JIG AND ACCURATELY POSITIONS IT ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE TURNTABLE SO THAT THE BOBBINS ARE PRECISELY LOCATED WITH RESPECT TO THE SEVERAL APPLICATORS AT THE INSERTING STATIONS. THE APPLICATORS ARE ADJUSTED TO INSERT A TERMINAL INTO EACH OF THE SEVERAL TERMINAL RECEIVING OPENINGS IN THE BOBBINS, EACH APPLICATOR BEING MOVABLE RELATIVELY TOWARDS AND AWAY FROM THE TURNTABLE DURING AN OPERATING CYCLE TO INSERT A SINGLE TERMINAL.)
