Lead wire locating device
Abstract
Abstract A method of and a device for locating in a given pattern a plurality of flexible wires projecting from a component, such as flying lead wires projecting from a numerical indicator tube. The device comprises a pair of plastic discs, each disc having a central aperture and a plurality of angular slots equally spaced from and communicating with the aperture and inclining opposite to those of the other disc. The flexible wires are bunched and passed through the apertures of the two discs. The two discs are then slid down in sequence to the base of the component so that the leads fit into corresponding slots of the two discs. The two discs are then rotated in opposite directions to enclose the leads within the holes made by the oppositely inclined overlapping portions of the slots from the two discs. The two discs may be then withdrawn together to adjacent the ends of the wires, which ends are then correctly located.
