ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for automated frame assembly, particularly advantageous for use in forming furniture drawers, includes a first bin for storing drawer back portions, situated generally in an elevated position with respect to the rest of the machine, and a pair of opposed bins for storing drawer side portions in serially arranged fashion. A pushing mechanism feeds the drawer back portions one at a time into engagement with one of the serially aligned drawer side portions of each bin. The pushing mechanism, in the same motion, pushes the engaged back and side portions into engagement with a drawer front portion where the side portions are fastened to the drawer front and back portions. Glue is applied to the drawer back portions before they engage the drawer side portions and glue is applied to the drawer side portions before they engage the drawer front portion. The drawer side portion storage bins are automatically refilled when a shortage is detected, by a mechanism which slides a plurality of serially aligned face to face drawer portions into the drawer side portion storage bins. The apparatus is adjustable to produce drawers of different widths and heights and to accept drawer portions of different thicknesses.
