1,179,100. Crimping pliers. AMP Inc. 1 Nov., 1967 [23 Nov., 1966], No. 49545/67. Heading B4W. [Also in Divisions B3 and H2] Wires of a group of juxtaposed wires are connected to corresponding wires of another group of juxtaposed wires by a method comprising separating the wires of each group to form a gap between the wires at a position inward of first ends of the wires, juxtaposing the groups with the gaps in coincidence and simultaneously electrically connecting e.g. by crimping, the separated portions of the wires of one group to the separated portions of the corresponding wires of the other group on either side of the gaps and severing each wire of each group between its first end and its connection to the corresponding wire of the other group. In joining the separated portions of two pairs of wires, one wire of each pair (i.e. corresponding wires), is located between one of a pair of dies 62, 621 and an anvil 78 defining two anvil surfaces (80, 801) (Fig. 2, not shown) in such a way that it is held at one side of the crimping pliers in a wire guide of lesser depth and at the other side in a wire guide of greater depth. The wire guides e.g. guides 100, 102, are provided for locating each of the four wires, and are arranged in pairs of which of each pair one guide has a greater depth than the other. Resilient wire retaining members e.g. members 104, 106, are provided in each guide. The other wire of each pair is similarly located between the other die 62, 621 and anvil 78. Connectors 30, 301, which have insulating coatings on their exterior surfaces, are positioned on the anvil surfaces and the levers 44, 46 squeezed. As the dies move together towards the anvil the free ends of the wires are severed by the cooperation of the dies 62, 621 with shear bars 82, 821, 84, 841, and the connectors are crimped at the cross-joint of the corresponding wires. A modified form of the pliers is used for connecting wires which do not extend towards, but are juxtaposed with, each other.
