Title:
METHOD OF MANUFACTURING WIRE HARNESS, AND CONNECTOR RETAINING PORTION SUPPORT DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/158339
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The objective of the present invention is to provide a technique with which it is possible to subject a partially finished product, in which electric cables have been inserted into connectors, to branch formation, without placing the partially finished product on a drawing board, and with which it is possible to increase the degree of freedom of manufacture. This method of manufacturing a wire harness comprises the following steps (a) and (b). Step (a) is a preparation step in which a plurality of connectors into which electric cables have been inserted are respectively retained by connector retaining portions in a state in which the electric cables are hanging down, and supporting portions capable of supporting a plurality of the connector retaining portions in a first direction orthogonal to the vertical direction are disposed in such a way as to be aligned side-by-side in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Step (b) is a step in which branches are formed in parts of the electric cables that are hanging down from the connectors, in a state in which the connectors remain retained by the connector retaining portions.
