Accumulator is further provided with plurality of supports 8, each of said supports defining surface inclined to tube discharging device 7 and adapted for accommodation of tubes 1 delivered by tube feeding device 4. Each of said supports 8 is designed for moving from waiting position wherein it is vacant, to tube feeding position wherein it defines inclined surface which connects tube feeding device 4 with tube discharging device 7, and to storage position wherein it is occupied with tube. Each of supports 8 consists of central beam or cross-piece, to which plurality of rods are attached at right angles. Said supports are connected with one another by means of two side chains 85 connected with beams. ^ EFFECT: increased efficiency by providing continuous feeding of tubes. ^ 7 cl, 14 dwg |
