ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for receiving a plurality of loose electrical components comprises a receiver having at least one end for receiving and holding the loose components. A conveyor is provided proximate the one end of the receiver for conveying the components one by one from the receiver to provide an output flow. The conveyor means includes a generally continuous arcuate conveyor member having an axis extending generally parallel to the one end of the receiver, the conveyor member being rotatable about the axis and being axially separate into two grooved axial end sections, with one grooved axial center section therebetween. The center section is adjustable with respect to the two end sections to permit registry of center section grooves with the end section grooves. The center section grooves are of different sizes with the number of center section grooves of each size corresponding to the number of end section grooves. The center section grooves are arranged so that when one center section groove of a particular size is in registry with one pair of end section grooves, all of the remaining center section grooves of the same size are in registry with the remaining end section grooves. The center section grooves are sized to receive the component bodies. The conveyor member is rotated about the axis at a predetermined rate to provide the desired output flow of components.
