A WIRE LENGTH VARYING DEVICE IN COMBINATION WITH APPARATUS FOR MAKING ELECTRICAL HARNESSES

摘要

A wire length varying device for an apparatus for making electrical harnesses, with the device comprising a tension pulley unit located on a wire supply path. The tension pulley unit constantly urges the individual wires to return in a counterflow direction. A return preventive device selectively stops the wires from returning under an urging provided by a moving chuck, thereby enabling the stopped wires to slacken by the respective selected lengths. Thus, the lengths of the connector-free terminal end portions of the wires are differentiated as desired.
