Abstract:
A typing ribbon is carried by a carrier ring around a bundle of wires, while locating pins hold the ribbon spaced from the wires. A finger engages the ribbon and moves it laterally across one of the ribbon loops to form the tie. Then, an electrically heated weld bar engages the ribbon at the tie area to bond the ribbon portion to one another.
