Abstract
The present invention provides a terminal insertion device in which a wired terminal can be securely taken out without abutting against the guide arms in case the insertion is imperfectly done, and also the guide arms can be shifted upwardly without being entangled with other leading wires 6b after the perfect insertion is detected. The terminal insertion device comprises a monolithic plate 5 on which holding hands 3 and 4 for clamping a wired terminal 6 and a pair of lead wire guide arms 2, 2 for guiding the wired terminal into a connector housing, and the monolithic plate 5 can be moved in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively by a driving means 24 and 26, wherein a front wall 7 of the plate 5 is formed with a first open-close cylinder 10, whereas first and second open-close cylinders 13 and 14 are formed on a junction plate 9 which is engaged with a side wall 8 of the plate 5 in the forwardly and rearwardly movable manner, and a horizontal cylinder 24 disposed on a frame board is further connected wit the side wall. With the construction above, the holding arms and the pair of guide arms are urged integrally backward on checking the inserted state of the terminal, and they are shifted backwardly to be located behind leading wires of other wired terminals extended from the connector housing, and sent upward thereafter.
