Patent ID: 8418518

Claim:
A contact bending fixture, comprising a lower die slider, positioning rods, a linear actuating mechanism, and an upper die slider, the lower die slider being horizontally positioned, the positioning rods having lower ends securely mounted to the lower die slider and upper ends slidably extending through the upper die slider, the upper die slider being coupled to the linear actuating mechanism, the contact bending fixture further comprising: a lower die mounted on the lower die slider, the lower die comprising a die holder, a lower bending module, a contact holding stick, and a bearing roller, the bearing roller being rotatably mounted on the die holder, the lower bending module being mounted on the die holder and comprising a smooth sustaining side surface facing the bearing roller, thereby defining an insertion gap between the sustaining side surface and the bearing roller, the contact holding stick being mounted on a top surface of the lower bending module; an upper die mounted on the upper die slider and opposing the lower die, the upper die comprising a punch holder, a hold-down plate, an elastic component, and an upper bending module, the punch holder being of a hollow structure and defining an opening in a side face thereof facing the bearing roller, the upper bending module being rotatably received in the opening and opposing the insertion gap, the elastic component having an end secured to the punch holder and another end securely connected to the hold-down plate, the hold-down plate being positioned right above the top surface of lower bending module, the hold-down plate defining a receiving hole corresponding to the contact holding stick, the hold-down plate pressing and holding down an end of an under-bending contact on the top surface of lower bending module, an opposite end of the under-bending contact suspending in the insertion gap, the linear actuating mechanism driving the upper bending module into the insertion gap to thereby bend the contact.
