Apparatus for joining wires

摘要

Apparatus for joining together two wires by deforming a crimping clip around the wires. The apparatus has a pair of crimping jaws and a support member for the clip, the jaws and support member moving into a crimping position to deform the clip around the wires. The jaws and support member are moved by a toggle linkage which develops an output force which varies with the condition of the toggle and increases as the jaws and support member move toward the crimping position.
