Claim 2:
3. A round metallic wire processing apparatus for subjecting a cross-section circular solid wire, for use as a conductor in a predetermined position of an electric device, to bending in a predetermined three-dimensional shape, the apparatus comprising:
a straightening machine configured to linearly correct a coiled material of a round metallic wire formed of the cross-section circular solid wire, wherein the apparatus further comprises
a cross-section non-circular portion forming machine configured to form a cross-section non-circular portion, the portion where a resin member being integrally attached on an outer periphery thereof after the processing a round metallic wire, having a non-circular cross-sectional shape in a diameter direction in at least one position of the round metallic wire linearly corrected by the straightening machine;
a bending machine configured to hold the cross-section non-circular portion in a wire holding portion and configured to perform bending in the three-dimensional shape; and
a cutting machine configured to cut the round metallic wire,
wherein the cross-section non-circular portion forming machine comprises having pressing portions which sandwiches the round metallic wire on both sides along the diameter direction, wherein a facing surface facing the round metallic wire on the pressing portion has a shape fitted to an abutting surface of the wire holding portion of the bending machine.
