ABSTRACT:
A device for feeding axial lead electrical components is disclosed. The device consists of a magnetic feed bin which is constructed to produce a magnetic field that suspends the components in the bin and moves them towards a pick-up wheel. The pick-up wheel is constructed of nonmagnetic material and has magnets embedded therein which hold the components in slots in the periphery of the wheel. A cylindrical shaft having a flat surface on it is positioned under the input end of a shelf which supports the feed bin. A cam, which is driven in synchronism with the feed wheel, cooperates with a cam follower that is mounted on a lever arm. The lever arm is secured to the shaft that has the flat on it so that the input end of the magnetic feed bin is periodically rocked up and down to prevent bunching of the components in the feed bin in order to insure proper sequential feeding of the components from the bin to the magnetic pick-up wheel.
