ABSTRACT:
An automatically operable article transfer apparatus for successively picking up and transporting articles, such as the funnel components of cathode-ray tube assemblies, from a loading station to an article unloading station, and which during the course of transport of such articles is operable to effect a precise transpositional reorientation of each of the articles including pivoting or tilting the article, rotating the article and raising or lowering the article during such transport in such manner that all of such transpositional and reorientational movements are adjustably and cooperatively coordinateable to present the article in an adjustably preselectable and precisely predictable reoriented position at the work unloading station and which is further characterized by being designed to permit such orientational adjustability to be carried out to selectively vary the positional and orientational characteristics of the transfer apparatus at the work unloading station without disturbing the positional or orientational characteristics of the transfer apparatus at the article loading station.
