ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for feeding objects (15) from a magazine (11, 14) having a set of objects (12, 15) therein, through a feeder path (4) to a correct "catch position" (6) in which the objects (15) are placed in a predetermined correct alignment. One or more objects (15) at a time are let down through a feeding assembly (14, 16) to a feeder path (4) and are brought to pass a barrier (17) of mechanical or other type which is mounted interiorly of a passageway (4a) of the feeder path (4). The feeder passageway (4a) has a cross sectional shape and a cross sectional size which substantially coincides with the cross sectional shape and cross sectional size of the object. An object (15) having the correct positioning will be let down into the passageway (4a) of the feeder path (4), whereas objects (15), at the inlet of the feeder path (4) including the barrier (17), which have an incorrect positioning, e.g., which are positioned obliquely, are lying on their side or are turned upside down, are temporarily lifted off, preferably using blasts of compressed air, to make a place for correctly positioned objects.
