ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a continuous motion assembly apparatus for assembling multipart devices, such as ball point pens, lipstick cases, syringes, etc., said multipart devices comprising a main part and at least one further part. Present automatic assembly apparatus for such devices require that the apparatus be stopped for each assembly operation. This start and stop motion limits the speed, and thus the production rate, of the apparatus. In accordance with the instant invention, the assembly apparatus is performed in a continuous motion. An apparatus in accordance with the invention comprises: a first conveyor to bring the main parts, one at a time, to an assembly station. A second conveyor brings a further part to the assembly station, and means are provided at the assembly station to mount the further part on the main part by a continuously variable amount. The means can comprise a rod and carrier arrangement acting in conjunction with a cam which forces the rod in a desired direction. The rod, in turn, pushes one of the parts in the same direction to mount it on the other part.
