In an open and close finger device, fingers are arranged to guide coil wires when the coil wires are respectively inserted into slots in a motor core. A cam plate includes cam slots, each of which is engaged with a cam follower which is fixed to corresponding one of the fingers. When the cam plate is turned, the fingers are advanced along a radial direction while being guided within guide grooves in a finger guide. The cam plate is turned while being guided via a bearing by a cap fixed to the finger guide.
