ABSTRACT:
A device for the non-reversed setting up of rod shaped bodies having ends of different thicknesses and particularly for orienting conical tubes for yarn spinning and twisting machines comprises a feed chute along which the bodies are fed with their sides adjacent and with their ends generally aligned. The feed chute includes an opening in which there are disposed two spaced apart supports oriented adjacent the respective ends of the tubes which are fed one after the other into the opening. Two pressing fingers are mounted so that they move through a path overlying the respective ends of the tubes simultaneously in a manner such that one of them only will contact the thicker end of the tube to begin moving it downwardly over the associated support. This downward movement permits downward movement of the thicker end of the tube which is accelerated by displacement of the respective support out of the path of the thicker end while the other end is held and then centered over setting stops until the thicker end is lowermost. The tube is aligned in a vertical position with the aid of a turning duct and it is oriented in a lateral opening of a passage on an inclined plane so that it feeds downwardly with the lowermost end always oriented at the base of the plane.
