Abstract
A terminal pressure-welding apparatus is provided, which includes: a first pattern; a second pattern facing the first pattern, one of the first and second patterns is provided approachably and disapproachably with respect to the other thereof; a mounting portion to mount the other of the first and second patterns; a displacing member carrying the one of the first and second patterns and being movable relatively to the other of the first and second patterns; and a stopping means to check an abutment of the first pattern and the second pattern, wherein a terminal metal fitting and an end portion of an electric wire are placed between the first and second patterns, and the terminal metal fitting and the end portion are pressure-welded by making the first and second patterns approach each other. The stopping means has a projecting portion projecting from the mounting portion toward the displacing member in order to abut against an end plane of the displacing member thereby to check the abutment of the first and second patterns. The projecting portion has an abutting plane to abut against the end plane, an adjusting means of a distance between the abutting plane and the mounting portion, and a fixing means to secure the projecting portion to the mounting portion for keeping the distance.
