Patent ID: 7900345

Claim:
An insulation sleeve assembling apparatus that assembles a tubular insulation sleeve to a lead wire formed of a plurality of conductors, comprising: a first rotor having center-recessed-cylinder-shaped portion; a second rotor having a center-recessed-cylinder-shaped portion; a first rotary motor connected to the first rotor via a first rotary shaft; and a second rotary motor connected to the second rotor via a second rotary shaft; wherein the first and second rotors intersect at the middle of the center-recessed-cylinder-shaped portions, with a tubular insulation sleeve disposed therebetween such that the first and second rotors are obliquely in contact with the insulation sleeve, and wherein the first and second motors rotate the first and second rotors such that a rotational force and an axial advancing force is applied to the insulation sleeve, thereby sliding the insulation sleeve over one or more lead wires.
