Electrical wire harness binding apparatus

摘要

A wire harness bundling apparatus (100) includes carrier means (A) for carrying harness wires sequentially, shifting means (C) responsive to the amount of the harness wires carried for shifting the harness wires (1) to an apparatus guide means, tape feeding means (E) placed so as to permit the tape (Fa, Fb) to traverse the harness wire pathway between the guide means (B). The tape is wound around a bundle (120) of harness wires (1) and upper and lower melting-and-pinching means melts and pinches portions of the tape on opposite sides of the harness wire bundle (120). A drive means (D) drives the upper and lower melting-and-pinching means (45, 62) together to actuate a severing knife (73) placed between the forward and rearward sides of the binding tape (Fa, Fb).
