ABSTRACT:
A part-aligning apparatus is provided which is not overly complex in structure, which reduces the damage to chip parts, and which operates well even if its chip discharge passage is clogged or overflows. The apparatus has a part-holding chamber for accommodating a number of chip parts. The chamber is formed between a stationary drum and a rotary drum. The rotary drum has an annular portion forming an outer wall of the part-holding chamber. An arc-shaped chute groove is formed in the inner surface of the annular portion. At least one gate hole extends through the annular portion and is in communication with the chute groove. An arc-shaped guide groove corresponding in position to the outer opening of the gate hole is formed in the inner surface of the stationary drum. A discharge passage is formed at the lower end of the guide groove. The rotary drum is rotated to align the chip parts and to deliver the chip parts into the discharge passage via the chute groove, the gate hole and guide groove.
