Abstract
Crimp pieces () of a metal terminal and a conductor wire placed on an inner side of the crimp pieces are positioned between a crimp indenter () and a crimp anvil (). Then, at least one of the crimp indenter () and the crimp anvil () is moved toward another one thereof along a direction of a longitudinal center axis () to crimp the crimp pieces (). At least two arch-shaped portions () are disposed on an inner surface of the crimp indenter (), and are adjacent to each other and symmetric with respect to a plane including the longitudinal center axis (). A sharply pointed portion () is defined by curves of the at least two arch-shaped portions () intersecting on the longitudinal center axis (). Curvature of each of the curves is set to be greater toward the sharply pointed portion ().
