ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for feeding elongate workpieces intermittently sideways one by one to successively located machining and parts-assembling stations includes a pair of parallel spaced feed rods supported on a transfer table and extending in a direction in which the workpieces are transferred. Each of the feed rods has a plurality of workpiece holders spaced therealong at an interval that corresponds to a distance at which the processing stations are spaced. The feed rods are movable axially back and forth by a drive mechanism for a stroke corresponding to the above-mentioned interval. The feed rods are supported at their ends in bearing units and rotatable by gearing in the bearing units between a first position in which the workpiece holders hold the workpieces at a retracted position of the feed rods and a second position in which the workpiece holders release the workpieces at an advanced position of the feed rods. Devices are provided on the table for supporting the workpieces after receiving them from the workpiece holders on the feed rods which are in the advanced position.
