Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To bend and compress waveforms of a sleeve and wires connected in a length direction by a compression die by a simple structure so that the wires are linearly connected. <P>SOLUTION: Since a first protruded part 29 of a male die 26 is opposed to a concave bent part 32 of a female die 27, a compression sleeve 20 is pressed by the first protruded part 29 to be dented. Since third protruded parts 33 at both ends of the female die 27 are opposed to a recessed part between the first protruded part 29 and a second protruded part 30 of the male die 26, the compression sleeve 20 is pressed by the third protruded parts 33 to be dented. Further, since the compression sleeve 20 is pressed at the second protruded part 30 of the male die 26 positioned outside the third protruded parts 33, the compression sleeve 20 is compressed in a wave form but maintained in linear state. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
