ABSTRACT:
A feeding and assembling mechanism for blanks having a bore and a pin for insertion into the bore comprising a feed means for the blank, and a feeding means for the pin, the discharge of the pin feeding means being above the discharge for the blank feeding means. Mechanism is provided to guide the pins downwardly oriented in a vertical access into a bore in the blank, and the blanks are thereafter rotated ninety degrees until the pin is on a horizontal axis. Supporting structure is then provided to support those blanks into which a pin has been inserted, and yet drop through an escapement those blanks which do not have a pin inserted. Recycling means for both the pins and blanks are provided, one form of which being a gravity recycle back into the feeder means. Specifically as shown, a double track vibratory feed or alternatively a pair of vibratory feeders are employed. The method contemplates the steps of vertical orientation of the pin, and thereafter horizontal orientation for purposes of recycling the blanks which do not have a pin.
