Abstract
A feeding pin is downwards inserted into an insertion hole h formed in a direction in which the hoop T is fed so that the feeding pin is moved in the feeding direction. The feeding pin is completely caught by the hoop T to restrain the hoop T in the feeding direction. Thus, overrunning of the hoop T can completely be prevented. Thus, the hoop T can be stopped at a predetermined position. Moreover, cutting of the hoop T and separation of the terminal by cutting can accurately be performed. A hoop holding pin is downwards inserted into the insertion hole h formed at a position different from a position at which the feeding pin is inserted prior to insertion and removal of the feeding pin . Thus, further accurate feeding of the hoop T can be performed and, therefore, accurate cutting of the hoop T and separation of the terminal by cutting can be performed.
