Abstract
A method for assembling a wire harness and an apparatus for carrying out the method. Main wires serving as the main line of the wire harness are arranged horizontally and in parallel with each other. A required portion of each main wire held by a cover installed at the leading end portion of a rod is dropped to a predetermined lower position so as to obtain a branch wire. The cover holding the branch wire is inserted into a terminal-accommodating chamber of a connector disposed at a lower position so as to connect the connector with the branch wire. Then, the rod formed on the cover is removed therefrom by moving the rod upwardly. The covers, which are spaced apart from each other, are made to be close to each other to insert them into the connector. A cutter mounted on the connector jig accommodating the connector cuts unnecessary wires connected with the connector.
