ABSTRACT:
A separator/feeder 16 in which a chute 18 stores a plurality of headed fasteners 4 in line and feeds them one by one to a shuttle 20 having a storage cavity. A piston-cylinder device 24 reciprocates the shuttle between a first position in which the headed fasteners are singly received in the storage cavity and a second position in which they are conveyed, shanks foremost, to a discharge port and hence a discharge tube 25 connected thereto. A rotatable disk 27 provided in the housing 22 transmits the headed fasteners into an upside-down position in the storage cavity of the slidable shuttle. A rack 32 and a pinion 30 function to link the rotation of the disk with the reciprocating movement of the shuttle so that the headed fasteners can be received from a pocket 28 in the disk when the storage cavity of the shuttle is in the first position and can be received from the chute 18 into the disk pocket when the storage cavity of the shuttle is in the second position. The discharge port for fastener 23 faces toward the top surface of the housing, and the discharge tube 25 for feeding the fasteners extends beyond the top surface of the housing.
