The projections may be configured to permit sliding of the clip onto a cable in a first direction and to avoid the clip sliding off the cable in an opposite direction when the clip is engaged with the cable by the projections.

A label strip is provided including a first band and a second band, a label which is optionally provided with a protrusion at each end of the length thereof, wherein each of the first and second bands is provided with a cut out, wherein the first and second bands are located parallel to each other with a gap therebetween, wherein when the label is located between the first and second bands it fits into the gap created between the cut outs of the bands; and wherein a layer of adhesive material is provided on one side of the first and second bands extending over the cut outs such that the label when positioned in the cut outs is held in position by the adhesive material.

Disclosed is a device for applying marking tubes onto cables including: a driving mechanism for a cable along a driving axis; at least one buffer pipe in a producing position aligned with the driving axis, the buffer pipe having dimensions adapted both for a cable to be marked to run through the buffer pipe and for a number of marking tubes to be threaded onto the buffer pipe; a pushing unit engaging and pushing along the driving axis at least one first out marking tube of the marking tubes threaded on the buffer pipe until this first out marking tube exits the buffer pipe and is released onto the cable. Also disclosed is a method for applying marking tubes onto cables using a buffer pipe. The cable is always driven in the same forward direction and there is no limitation of cable length or marking tube number or location.

A wire harness is composed of a plurality of insulated electric wires, each including a conductor wire, and an insulating member provided over the conductor wire, a sheath provided over a part in a longitudinal direction of the plurality of insulated electric wires, and a molded member comprising a rubber-like elastic body, and provided over an end portion of the sheath with the plurality of insulated electric wires being guided out therefrom, and respective one parts of the plurality of insulated electric wires being guided out from the end portion of the sheath. The molded member includes a plurality of cylindrical shape guiding out portions, which are configured to guide out the respective one parts of the plurality of insulated electric wires respectively, wherein outer peripheral surfaces of the plurality of guiding out portions are tightened by tightening members respectively.

An apparatus for attaching a label to a moving cable, the apparatus comprising: a roller for pressing a label against the moving cable, wherein the label has a first attaching edge and a second attaching edge and wherein the roller comprises: a first roller for pressing the label against the moving cable, wherein the label is pressed against the moving cable with the first attaching edge and the second attaching edge of the label on opposites sides of the moving cable; a first roll down roller for folding the second edge of the label against the moving cable; and a second roll down roller for folding the first edge of the label against the moving cable.

A technique for facilitating automation of fitting a wire harness to a vehicle is provided. A wire harness module includes a wire harness formed in a packed shape. Connectors each attached to an end of the wire harness are attached to specific positions on the wire harness. Fixtures for fixing the wire harness to the vehicle are attached to specific positions on the wire harness. Identification information unique to the wire harness is recorded in a tag. The identification information is used when acquiring attachment position information, which indicates the positions at which the connectors and fixtures are attached.

An identification tag for an electrical cable. The identification tag may provide enhanced safety between the cable and another component, and may include a collar and a tab. The collar may include a bore for receiving a part of the cable. The bore may extend between first and second ends of the collar. The collar may also include an abutment surface for limiting the insertion of the cable end through the bore. The collar may further include an outer surface having a profile such that an outer diameter of the collar is smaller at the second end than at the first end and the outer diameter of the collar decreases gradually from the first end to the second end. The tab may be connected to and extend from the collar, wherein the tab may include identification symbols for identifying the cable.

The present disclosure is directed to a label clip assembly comprising an annular clip having an inner surface and an outer surface radially positioned around a primary axis, and having a height extending in the direction of the primary axis, a label member attached to the outer surface of the clip, and a plurality of projections extending radially from the inner surface of the clip towards the primary axis. The projections may be configured to permit sliding of the clip onto a cable in a first direction and to avoid the clip sliding off the cable in an opposite direction when the clip is engaged with the cable by the projections.

A wire harness electric wire length correcting device, which corrects a design value of an electric wire length of an electric wire included in a wire harness, includes an electric wire identifying means including an identification mark, which is attached to an end portion of the electric wire, and which is to be cut off from the electric wire when the wire harness is installed on an installation target object, so as to use the identification mark to identify which electric wire an end cut off from the electric wire has been cut off from, a measuring means for measuring a length of the cut off end, and a correcting means for, for the electric wire identified by the electric wire identifying means, correcting the design value of the electric wire length of that electric wire, based on the length of the cut off end measured by the measuring means.
