ABSTRACT:
A screw orienting assembly in which slotted headless screws are sequentially fed with their elongate axis perpendicular to and in the same plane as a guide rail having a width less than the width of the screw slots. The screws are rotated about their elongate axis and advanced along the rail. The slots of those screws having their slotted end engaged with the rail become engaged with the rail in response to the rotation of those screws such that the slot is in alignment with the rail. The slot-engaged or "seated" screws are advanced along the rail to a predetermined point and discharged therefrom in like orientation with respect to their slotted ends for further processing. Those screws not seated on the rail are discharged from the rail before reaching the predetermined point.
