Abstract
The apparatus for coloring a wire includes a plurality of coloring nozzles, each of which spouts a liquid coloring agent toward an outer surface of a wire with a specific amount thereof per spouting so as to allow the liquid drop of the coloring agent to adhere to the outer surface of the wire, thereby coloring the wire. The coloring agent adheres on the outer surface of the wire so as to form a spot. Each coloring nozzle includes an insert member for receiving the coloring agent therein and a nozzle member that communicates with the insert member. The length of the nozzle member is different from each other. The apparatus selects one coloring nozzle from a plurality of the coloring nozzles in response to the size of the spot to be formed on the outer surface of the wire and spouts the coloring agent.
