ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an apparatus with the aid of which tubular transport containers (10) having a substantially U-shaped hollow cross-section for DIL housings can be aligned prior to their filling or emptying. The apparatus comprises a first storage space (22) for the transport containers to be filled or emptied and a second storage space (65) for filled or emptied transport containers. A transport means (32, 33) is provided with the aid of which the transport containers can be conveyed out of the first storage space into the second storage space. At least one alignment means (50, 51) is provided which is equipped with at least one compressed air nozzle and produces an air flow which is directed from below against a transport container on its way from the first storage space to the second storage space. Under the influence of this air flow the transport container assumes a defined position in which the DIL housings disposed therein can be removed or introduced into said container. The apparatus is used in the fabrication of components which are accommodated in DIL housings and is employed in all cases where during this fabrication the DIL housings must be removed from the transport containers and inserted into processing stations and after carrying out a processing step must be returned again to the transport containers.
