Patent ID: 7467463

Claim:
A method of processing an end portion of a shielded wire, comprising: positioning the end portion of the shielded wire in which part of an outer sheath has been removed such that an exposed braid disposed between an inner sheath and the outer sheath extends from a distal end of the outer sheath; expanding an end portion of the exposed braid after the positioning process; and folding back the braid with the expanded end portion on the outer sheath after the expanding process, wherein the expanding process includes: strike against a first position of an outer surface of the braid radially thereof by a pair of claw portions so that the end portion of the braid is expanded into a first size; fitting a first pipe portion onto an outer periphery of the inner sheath from a distal end thereof in a state that the end portion of the shielded wire is held by the claw portions; and striking against a second position of the outer surface of the braid which is closer to a proximal end of the exposed braid than the first position by the clamp portions so that the end portion of the braid is further expanded into a second size larger than the first size in a state that the distal end portion of the shielded wire is held by the first pipe portion.
