ABSTRACT:
Contact pins, of square cross-section and having a swaged portion nearer one end, are oriented so as to be fed to a magazine or other device with the ends nearer the swage portion all in the same direction. The pins move along channel-shaped grooves, over slots in the grooves. The slots have parts of different widths such that, the longer end of a pin falls down first, followed by the swaged portion end. In one orientation, with the swaged portion leading, the swaged portion holds the pin up over the slot until the longer end can fall down, while in an alternative orientation, with the swaged portion lagging, the longer end falls through as the pin moves over the slot.
