APPARATUS FOR FEEDING GRAFTING CLIP

摘要

PURPOSE: To prevent the change of the direction of a clip caused by the bound of the clip at the grounded side in the case of feeding a clip to an outlet side by the free fall of the clip. CONSTITUTION: This apparatus for feeding grafting clips is provided with a chute 17 to guide clips aligned by a parts feeder toward the outlet side and a shutter 27 placed at the outlet side of the chute 17. The parts feeder is started after protruding the shutter 27 in the chute 17 to prevent the drop of the clip below the position of the shutter 27. A number of clips are stored in the chute 17 and the top clip is delivered from the shutter position 27 to the grounding side by opening the shutter. The bound of the delivered clip at the grounding side is prevented by this mechanism.
