A terminal dereeling apparatus is provided for permitting efficient feeding of terminals into a terminating press. The terminal dereeling apparatus includes a terminal reel mount for permitting the unwinding of a terminal reel with substantially uniform tension throughout the unwinding. A take-up reel is provided in proximity to the terminal reel for efficiently winding the interleaf material disposed between adjacent layers of the terminal strip wound onto the terminal reel. A sensing apparatus, such as a photo-optical sensor is provided in spaced relationship to the terminating press for monitoring the feeding of terminals on the strip of terminals into the terminating press. The sensing apparatus is operative to interrupt the terminating process in response to a variation of the terminal feeding from a specified terminal feeding sequence.

A terminal dereeling apparatus for delivering a carrier strip with terminals integral therewith into a terminating press, said carrier strip being wound onto a terminal reel with an interleaf material disposed intermediate adjacent layers of the carrier strip on the terminal reel, said terminal dereeling apparatus comprising: terminal reel mounting means in proximity to the terminating press for rotatably receiving the terminal reel thereon including a rotatable shaft onto which said terminal reel is rotatably mountable and a back plate aligned generally orthogonal to the rotatable shaft, a pressure plate surrounding the rotatable shaft, said pressure plate being movable relative to said back plate, spring means intermediate said back plate and said pressure plate for urging said pressure plate away from said back plate, whereby said pressure plate is operative to exert a predetermined pressure against the terminal reel mounted on the rotatable shaft; take-up means in proximity to said terminal reel mounting means for taking up the interleaf material unwound from said terminal reel; and terminal sensing means in proximity to said terminating press for sensing the presence of terminals on the carrier strip, said sensing means being operative to interrupt the terminating press in response to selected sensed patterns of terminals as said carrier strip is delivered to said terminating press.
