UN APARATO PARA ENGASTAR EN UNA PLACA UNOS TERMINALES ELEC-TRICOS INDIVIDUALES, PARTIENDO DE UNA TIRA DE DICHOS TERMI- NALES.

摘要

A machine is disclosed for staking terminal pins to a printed circuit board in which two strips of terminal pins are fed alternately towards a shear anvil along separate paths. The leading terminal pin of each strip is received within one of a pair of spaced channels in a shear anvil positioned adjacent a shear block. The shear anvil is arranged to move between a first position in which one channel is in alignment with a terminal pin feed path while the second channel is in alignment with a staker and a second position in which the one channel is in alignment with the staker and the second channel is in alignment with a terminal feed path. Movement of a channel from a position in alignment with a feed path to a position in alignment with the staker causes a terminal pin in the channel to be sheared from the strip.
