1,065,676. Making plugs; angular bending; seaming; bending cutters. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Oct. 23, 1964 [Oct. 26, 1963], No. 43302/64. Headings B3A, B3E. B3J and B3W. A plug-in connection for use with printed circuits is made by wrapping several metallic contact strips around an insulating comb. The contact strips 5 are advanced, side by side, from multilayer reels by a reciprocating plate (6) having a spring (7) which grips the contact strips 5. The desired length of strip 5<SP>1</SP> is then cut by blades 8 and 9, the blade 9 also bending the end of the strip 5 through a right angle. The insulating comb 4 is placed above the strips 5<SP>1</SP> and a die 11 descends to fold the strip 51 about the comb 4, the member 10 which supports the comb also descending. A die (18) (Fig. 5, not shown) then moves to the left to bring the free ends of the strips together and a die (17) (Fig. 6, not shown) moves to the right to bend the free ends of the strips through a right angle. The turned-up end of the strip 5<SP>1</SP>a is then bent over the other end of the strip using dies (14) and (19) (Figs. 7, 8, not shown). The support member 10 is raised and the completed plug-in connection is removed from the machine. |
