<p>A spoke inserting apparatus for inserting spokes into a hub of a wheel of a bicycle. The operation for adjusting a position, a direction and the like of driving apparatuses, photo-sensors and spoke entanglement preventive apparatuses constituting the spoke inserting apparatus is facilitated. A hub (1) is supported in a horizontal attitude, and spokes (20) are inserted into spoke holes (6,7) obliquely of a first collar portion (2) and a second collar portion (3) by four driving apparatuses, (11,12,13,14) arranged on either side of said first and second collar portions (2,3). A hub supporting apparatus (1) is provided to reciprocatingly move the hub (1) parallel with, obliquely and upwardly. A first driving apparatus (11), a second driving apparatus (12), a first photo-sensor (16) and a first spoke handling apparatus (18) having their relative position and attitude determined, and a third driving apparatus (13), a fourth driving apparatus (14), a second photo-sensor (17) and a second spoke handling apparatus (19) likewise having their relative position and relative attitude determined are made integral with each other and can be reciprocatingly and symmetrically moved in a direction of a hub shaft. <IMAGE></p> |
