ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for transferring elongated parts travelling on a first conveyor to a receptacle travelling on a second conveyor, the parts being placed singly in consecutive rows in the receptacle in a substantially vertical position. The apparatus comprises a part pick-up unit having a part pick-up member mounted on a slide. The part pick-up unit is positioned such as to enable the part pick-up member to pick up a part at the end of the first conveyor, and the part pick-up member, mounted on the output shaft of a rotary actuator, is rotated such as to rotate the part from a horizontal position to a vertical position during travel of the part pick-up unit and of the slide from the part pick-up position to the part-loading position. The part pick-up member has a pair of pivotable fingers for grasping the part or, in the alternative, the part pick-up member is in the form of a tubular member in which a portion of the part is introduced, and suction applied to the interior of the tubular member holds the part during transportation of the part from the pick-up position to the loading position.
