Abstract
The present disclosure describes a wire guide for use with a manually operated wire wrap gun. Such guns are used to make solderless wrapped connections on terminals emanating from a circuit board. The wire guide of the present invention is especially useful with multi-spindle guns, such as the dual spindle gun utilized for simultaneously wrapping both wires of a twisted pair or miniature coaxial cable. The present wire guide which is fastened to the sleeve portion of the gun, permits the operator to front load the gun quickly and reliably by directing the multiple wires into the respective wire feed openings of the wrapping tool bits housed within the sleeves. Thus, the guide eliminates the tedious task of inserting wires into the gun even when the feed openings are visible to the operator; and of greater importance, it is indispensable in a front loading operation where the gun is in a fixed mounted position directed away from the operator and the openings cannot be seen, as is the case with semi-automated numerical positioning systems.
