When the seal member delivery device 170 receives the seal member S, as shown in FIG. 12A, the seal member delivery device 170 has a seal member receiving hole 183 defined by a pair of holding arms 181 and 182. It is in the seal member receiving position facing the seal member S prepared inside. The second cylindrical body 172 and the guide pin 173 are in the forward position with respect to the first cylindrical body 171, and the guide pin 173 protrudes from the second cylindrical body 172.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12B, the first cylinder 171 moves forward with the second cylinder 172 and the guide pins 173, and the second cylinder 172 is inserted into the hollow space of the seal member S by the guide pins 173. Fit into. Thereby, the seal member S is held around the second cylindrical body 172. In this process, when the tip of the guide pin 173 reaches the middle of the hollow portion of the seal member S, the pair of holding arms 181 and 182 begin to separate from each other, and a second outer diameter larger than the seal member receiving hole 183 is obtained. Allow the cylinder 172 to enter. The front end of the guide pin 173 is received by the stopper 190, and the end surface of the stopper 190 comes into contact with the rear end surface of the seal member S to limit the backward movement of the seal member S.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12C, the first cylinder 171 moves backward with the second cylinder 172 and returns to the original position. The seal member S remains held around the second cylinder 172. In this process, the guide pin 173 is also retracted and accommodated in the second cylinder 172.
Then, the seal member delivery device 170 holding the seal member S rotates 60 degrees counterclockwise from the position shown in FIG. 12C and reaches the seal member mounting position 110, as shown in FIG. 12D. , Facing the electric wire W held by the first clamp 102.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12E, the first cylinder 171 moves forward with the second cylinder 172 and the guide pins 173, and the second cylinder 172 receives the covered end of the electric wire W.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12F, the second cylinder 172 is retracted and accommodated in the first cylinder 171, and the seal member S is attached to the covered end of the electric wire W. When the second cylinder 172 starts to retract, the seal member S that is fitted tightly on the second cylinder 172 also tries to retract together with the second cylinder 172. However, the seal member S does not contact the end surface of the first cylinder 171. As a result, only the second cylinder 172 moves backward and enters the first cylinder 171, and the seal member S is transferred onto the covered end of the electric wire W.
Finally, as shown in FIG. 12G, the first cylinder 171 moves backward. The second cylinder 172 and the guide pin 173 are moved forward with respect to the first cylinder 171 and then rotated clockwise to return to the initial position in FIG. The sealing member S is automatically attached to the covered end of the electric wire W through the above steps.

(See FIG. 9B).

Next, a method for attaching the seal member S to the coated end portion of the electric wire W will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
First, as shown in FIG. 2, in the initial state where the seal member delivery device 10 is located at the seal member receiving position facing the seal member holding device 30, a plurality of seal members are supplied from a seal member supply source (not shown). The seal member S is held in the through hole 31 a of the seal member holding part 31. In this initial state, the first member 13 and the cylinder 17 are in the retracted position, and the guide member 20 is in the advanced position. Further, the seal pressing member 32 is in the retracted position.
As shown in FIG. 3, the first member 13 moves forward, and the front end surface of the first member 13 comes into contact with the front end surface of the seal member holding portion 31.
Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the seal pressing member 32 moves forward, the front end surface of each pressing portion 32 a presses the rear end surface of each sealing member S, and the front portion of the sealing member S is the seal of the first member 13.

Position it approximately coaxially. For this reason, the covering end portion of the electric wire W can be accurately positioned with respect to the cylindrical body 17 holding the seal member S. At this time, the portion of the covering end portion of each electric wire W where the seal member S is to be mounted protrudes from the rear end face of the base portion 71 and the electric wire insertion guide portion 72 constituting the electric wire insertion guide device 70. And the 1st member 13 advances again with the sealing member S, and the cylinder body receiving groove 73b formed in each edge part of the wire receiving groove 72a of the electric wire insertion guide part 72 and the base part 71, and the cylinder body 17b, 73a to thereby received, receiving the positioning has been in the cylindrical body 17 a covering end portions of the respective electrical wires W. For this reason, the cylindrical body 17 can appropriately receive the covered end portion of the electric wire W, and the automatic attachment of the seal member S to the covered end portion of the electric wire W can be appropriately performed. In particular, the outer diameter of the electric wire W is about 2 mm or less, and is particularly effective when the sealing member S is attached to the coated end portion of the electric wire W that is as thin as about 1 mm.

After that, as shown in FIG. 9, only the cylinder 17 is moved back into the first member 13, and each sealing member S on the cylinder 17 is transferred to the covered end portion of each electric wire W. Thereby, the sealing member S is automatically attached to the covering end portion of the electric wire W.
Finally, as shown in FIG. 10, the first member 13 is retracted, and each electric wire W with the sealing member S attached to the covering end is taken out. Thereafter, a contact (not shown) is crimped and connected to the covered end portion of each electric wire W taken out. And the seal member delivery apparatus 10 returns to the original state shown in FIG.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention has been described, this invention is not limited to this, A various change and improvement can be performed.
For example, the seal member S may be attached not only to the covered end portions of the plurality of electric wires W but also to the covered end portions of a single electric wire W.
Further, the seal member delivery device 10 only needs to be configured to switch between the seal member receiving position facing the seal member holding device 30 and the seal member mounting position facing the wire clamp device 60, It is not necessary to be installed on the substrate portion 11 that is pivotally supported in the direction of the arrow in FIG.
Moreover, it is not necessary to install one pair of sealing member delivery apparatuses 10, and one may be sufficient.
