ABSTRACT:
The invention is an improvement in the feed mechanism for a lead-forming machine for axial-leaded electronic components. The invention comprises a combination of a reverse threaded shaft, controlled by a hand-manipulable knob, which shaft in turn may precisely and rapidly mechanically control one or more walls of the feed chute of the forming machine, the function of which is to orient a small object, such as an electronic component, so that the object assumes a predetermined position with respect to a forming element which then imparts a bend, twist or other change in the shape of said object. The invention is particularly useful for rapid set-up to impart predetermined bends in electrically conductive leads used in capacitors, transistors and similar components for electronic equipment.
