Abstract
The present disclosure describes a side-loading wire wrapping assembly comprised of a specially configured bit and sleeve, for use on semi-automatic wiring machines. Such machines are used to make solderless wrapped connections on terminals emanating from a common plane. The wire wrapping assembly in present use on many of such machines consists of a fixed sleeve substantially enclosing a spring-loaded bit. The arrangement necessitates front-loading of the bit by the operator--a procedure which is tedious and time consuming. The present invention obviates these difficulties by converting the fixed-sleeve assembly from front-loading to side-loading. This is accomplished by providing in the sleeve, a wire feed aperture in contiguity with a longitudinal slot and of orienting the former with a widened portion of the slit formed in the bit periphery by the wire receiving bore.
