(54) Terminal applicator device for attaching terminal to electric wires or cables


(57) In an applicator device for clinching a metal terminal both on the stripped conductor and on the insulating sheath of a portion of an electric wire or cable the tool-carrying assembly (D), which is designed to be associated to the ram of a press which moves with reciprocating motion, comprises a first ring (3) and a second ring (5) mounted so that they can turn independently of one another to control a fine adjustment of the axial position of the two tools (14, 15) of the assembly, which are designed to carry out clinching of the terminal, respectively, on the conductor and on the insulating sheath of the electric wire. At least the first adjusting ring (3) has an internally threaded annular body, engaged by screwing on a first threaded pin (2), which is axially fixed with respect to a main body (16) of the tool-carrying assembly (D).
