ABSTRACT:
A lead transfer mechanism for transferring a cut and stripped lead from a lead measuring, cutting, and stripping mechanism to a terminal applying applicator or the like. The lead transfer mechanism includes a conveyor arm, one end of which is swingable between a first position adjacent the cutting and stripping mechanism and a second position adjacent the applicator. The conveyor arm is caused to be moved by rotary cam means which is drivingly interconnected with the lead measuring, cutting, and stripping mechanism in such a manner that the rotary cam means will rotate one revolution for each measuring cycle of the measuring mechanism. The one end of the conveyor arm carries lead engaging means, and first shifting means is provided for shifting the lead engaging means from an open position to a closed position when the one end of the conveyor arm is in its first position. The lead transfer mechanism further includes means to dispose the first shifting means either in an operative or in an inoperative position, the disposing means being interconnected with the cutting and stripping mechanism to permit the lead engaging means to be shifted to the closed position only when the cutting and stripping means is in its operative position. Furthermore, the lead transfer mechanism also includes second shifting means operable to open the lead engaging means when in the second position, and ejector means mounted adjacent the applicator, the second shifting means and the means to control the ejector means including cam lobes mounted on the rotary cam means.
