ABSTRACT:
A device to transfer bodies along a path between the work positions on an assembly machine having a table and feed means for delivering bodies in a row, the device comprising a matrix bar extending above and parallel to the table of the machine on one side of the path of the bodies, the bar being carried by a lever mounted on a pivot and the bar having in at least one longitudinal edge and at regular intervals cut-outs whose profile is adapted to the periphery of the bodies; a rake constituted by a shaft extending parallel to the matrix bar on the other side of the path of the bodies and carrying a plurality of teeth spaced along the shaft with the same spacing as the cut-outs in the matrix bar, the shaft being mounted in bearings fixed on the machine for lengthwise translatory movement through advance and return strokes and for rotational movement about its longitudinal axis; a straight edge overlying the shaft, the straight edge being positioned in the same plane as the matrix bar and extending parallel thereto, the straight edge thereby serving as a backing means for the bodies accommodated in the cut-outs in the matrix bar; a guide bar positioned under the matrix bar and extending parallel to the shaft such that it continuously presses the bodies accommodated in the cut-outs against the shaft of the rake; a driving mechanism for the matrix bar to actuate the lever carrying the matrix bar in order periodically to move the matrix bar into such an operative position that the cut-outs engage the bodies and into inoperative position when the cut-outs are clear of bodies; and a rake control mechanism coupled to the shaft of the rake.
