Claim 0:
1. A coil manufacturing apparatus for forming a helical structure by connecting together a plurality of strip-shaped flat conductors capable of having a helical shape when continuously joined together, the coil manufacturing apparatus comprising:
a first holding part and a second holding part capable of sandwiching one of the flat conductors and a different one of the flat conductors, respectively, and disposed opposite to each other; and
a drive part; wherein:
the first holding part includes a first upper holder and a first lower holder which are capable of sandwiching the one flat conductor;
the second holding part includes a second upper holder and a second lower holder which are capable of sandwiching the different one of the flat conductors;
the drive part is capable of moving the first holding part and the second holding part along a first direction;
the drive part is capable of moving the first upper holder and the first lower holder along a second direction, and is capable of moving the second upper holder and the second lower holder along the second direction;
a connected flat conductor to be the helical structure can be formed in a helical below the first lower holder and the second lower holder by pressing end faces of the one flat conductor and the different flat conductor by operating the drive part;
an accommodating portion for the connected flat conductor formed in a helical is provided below the first lower holder and the second lower holder, and
the accommodating portion is a space in which the connected flat conductor formed in a helical can be accommodated without interfering with either the first holding part and the second holding part.
