Abstract:
Apparatus for installing rivet-type electrical connectors onto flat conductor cables wherein the connectors are fed to the machine from a magazine, transferred to a press and then pressed onto and through the cable over an anvil which holds the rivet-type connector to form a secure connection with the cable. The resulting profile of the connector is such that it extends through the conductor of the cable and is held thereon by a flange on one side of the cable and an eyelet-type crimp on the opposite side of the cable.

A modular adjustable clamp is provided for use in a multi-clamp assembly. The clamp comprises a frame, a clamp interconnection for connecting the frame to a second clamp, and a portion for engaging a cable. The modular clamp can be connected to the second clamp in an adjustable manner such that various sizes of cable can be clamped with various distances between the cables. A system may also be provided for stabily connecting at least two multi-clamp assemblies for use in attaching a connector to the cables.
