Claims
- 1. A method for covering a wire connection part comprising:selecting a plurality of electric wires and conveying the wires by a conveying device; electrically connecting core parts of the wires at exposed terminal ends thereof to form a wire connection part; injecting a liquid thermosetting filler into a covering material having a cap-shaped form with insulating properties; covering said wire connection part with the covering material and the injected thermosetting filler; conveying the covered wire connection part by the conveying device to a heating device; and heating at least an upper surface of the liquid filler at a set position relative to a heat source of a heating device to cure the filler.
- 2. The method for covering a wire connection part in accordance with claim 1, further comprising:surrounding the covering material with a pair of spaced reflector plates provided on the conveying device and spaced upwardly and downwardly relative to the filler; and positioning the space between said pair of reflector plates to face toward the heat source of the heating device.
- 3. The method for covering a wire connection part in accordance with claim 2, further comprising:covering the heat source with a hood-shaped reflecting plate which opens only between said pair of supporting plates; forming the heat source to have a circular cross-section; and arraying a lower one of the pair of supporting plates below a center of the heat source and at about an upper level of the filler by a radius of the heat source.
