Abstract
The present disclosure describes a dressing finger assembly of advanced design for use on automatic wiring machines. Such machines make solderless wrapped electrical connections on pluralities of planar disposed terminals. A dressing finger is employed to form predetermined wire patterns in conjunction with a wrap tool which makes the actual connection. It has been observed that the design of dressing fingers used in present day machines is such that the insulation of the wire being wrapped may be pinched and cut, thereby necessitating its replacement to avoid electrical shorting. In accordance with the present invention, the assembly comprised of a newly designed finger and supporting guide, provide the required retention and support of the wire during wrapping while eliminating the aforementioned damage to the wire.
