ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic feeder device operable for creating controlled vibration is provided which is particularly suited to be employed in association with automatic machinery for purposes of moving disoriented parts into orientation, for inspecting and/or counting and/or applying parts, etc. Moreover, the electromagnetic feeder device is characterized by the fact that means are embodied therein which permit both the frequency of vibration to be tuned and the armature gap setting to be adjusted while the device is operating. The electromagnetic feeder device has embodied therein an electromagnet coil. The latter coil is supported on a coil mounting plate suitably provided for this purpose. In turn, the coil mounting plate is supported on a base angle plate which itself is supported on a base angle whereby the vibrating firing angle of the electromagnetic feeder device may be adjusted, i.e., the device may be made to vibrate left or right. Each end of the base angle plate is connected by means of a corresponding side plate to a respective end of a top plate. The electromagnetic feeder device further includes an armature suitably positioned therein so as to be cooperatively associated with the aforementioned electromagnet coil whereby the armature is capable of moving relative to the coil. The armature is operatively connected by means of an armature arm to a top angle plate located in suitably spaced relation to the top plate. In addition, there is embodied in the subject electromagnetic feeder device a multiplicity of springs, the latter being arranged so as to form two sets thereof. One set of springs has one end thereof connected to one end of the top angle plate and the other end thereof operatively connected to one end of the base angle plate. In a similar manner, the other set of springs has one end thereof connected to the other end of the top angle plate and the other end thereof operatively connected to the other end of the base angle plate.
