Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for connecting at least one branch electric wire to an intermediate portion of a main electric wire. The apparatus has a stripping section in which the intermediate portion of the main wire is stripped to expose its conductor, a solderless connecting section in which the main and branch wires are connected in a solderless manner by means of a connecting piece, and a taping section in which the connected wires are coated with insulating tape. The stripping section, solderless connecting section and the taping section are assembled on a frame three dimensionally to realize a compact apparatus which can perform a through process including to steps of stripping, solderless connection and taping. The apparatus further has a rotatable and extendable/retractable transportation hand means adapted to automatically transport and deliver the wires from the stripping section to the solderless connecting section and from the solderless connecting section to the taping section.
