Abstract

Improvements introduced in the object of the main patent no. 400262, filed on february 29, 1972, by "an apparatus for cutting electrical terminals of a carrier strip carrying a plurality of electrical terminals", according to which an apparatus for cutting terminal pins electrically from a carrier strip carrying a plurality of electric lugs in juxtaposed relation and to secure the electrical lugs in through holes in a panel, particularly a reel flange, the apparatus comprising a mechanism for intermittently feeding the carrier strip along a length of predetermined feeding path for successively positioning the first electrical pins in a shearing block, the shearing block being laterally movable to the feeding path for cutting off the front electrical terminal from the strip and for moving the front pin laterally from the feeding path, a mechanism for grasping the first cut electrical terminal, and an insertion punch positioned to engage the first cut pin and transferring it to an aligned hole in the panel for securing the pin to the panel, characterized by a bender member (72) generally aligned with the punch of insert (20) and connected through a joint (73,77,79) to the piston (16), the bending member (72) being maintained during the path of insertion of the punch (20) out of reach of the inserted pin (2) and being movable towards the inserted terminal (2) during the retraction of the punch (20) to apply obliquely to a projecting end portion (6) of the inserted pin (2) and to bend the end portion generally perpendicular to the geometric axis of the pin.
