Apparatus for extracting a single bar from a plurality of bars

摘要

An apparatus for extracting a single bar (W) from a plurality of bars comprises a holding device (23) for nipping the single bar. The holding device comprises nipping members (231,232), which face each other and are capable of being opened and closed. The nipping members have a taper space formed therebetween so that only a single bar locating in a peak portion of the taper space of a plurality of bars received therein can be nipped. The apparatus comprises a combined bar-separating and bar-discharging means being movable along the length of a nipped bar. <IMAGE>
