Abstract
A braid folding unit of a shielded wire is provided, which includes: a primary expanding means to beat a braid exposed on an inner cover of the shielded wire so as to outwardly expand the braid; an expanding pipe to enter an inside of the braid along the inner cover so as to further outwardly expand the braid; and a braid folding member to advance along an outside surface of the expanding pipe so as to push the braid in an axial direction of the shielded wire and to fold back the braid. The primary expanding means has a pair of openable-and-closable expanding teeth , a pair of sliding members fixing the respective expanding teeth, and a driving means to open and close the pair of sliding members in opposite directions.
