Title: Innovations of Hiroo Suzuki

Introduction

Hiroo Suzuki is a notable inventor based in Shizuoka, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of wire harness manufacturing, holding a total of 10 patents. His work has greatly influenced the efficiency and effectiveness of wire harness production processes.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is an apparatus for manufacturing a complete wire harness from a plurality of partial harnesses. This innovative apparatus includes a first transferring unit, an inserting unit, and a removing unit. The first transferring unit is responsible for transferring a wire clamping bar, which holds a partial harness containing multiple electric wires, to a wire-harness fabricating station. The inserting unit then inserts terminals located at the ends of these electric wires into predetermined terminal accommodating chambers of specific connectors set on a connector receiving jig. Finally, the removing unit takes away the emptied wire clamping bar.

Another significant patent by Suzuki is a wire measuring and cutting apparatus and method for measuring the length of wire. This apparatus features a U-turn guide section that guides a wire being fed into a guide passage, bending it in a substantially U-shaped manner. The section includes a movable guide part made up of a pair of guide pieces that can pivot to open and close. The U-turn guide section is equipped with a displacement mechanism that maintains the guide pieces in a closed position while allowing them to open at high speed due to the feeding inertia of the wire during the measurement process.
