CHAIN-TYPE CONTAINER FOR TRANSFER OF PRECISION PART

摘要

PURPOSE: To obtain a container for transfer of precision parts wherein a number of unit containers having a sufficient strength and a freedom of relative bending and stretching constitutes a chain-type strip body in such a form as to avoid the tendency to curl. CONSTITUTION: The small holes 14 releasably engageable with a transfer mechanism are formed for the full length at predetermined intervals, each recess part 11 is made into a separate unit container and two arms 21 and 23 are provided extending continuously from the two opposite sides A and B of the container unit along the two parallel straight line L and M disposed at right angles to the aforesaid side. Small projection 22 are formed on the arms extending from the one side A near the end thereof and are disposed at right angles to the arm extending in opposite directions, lateral holes 24 with which the small projections are engage able elastically with a freedom of relative rotation are formed on the arms extending from the other side B, the distance between the small projection near the one side edge 12 of a strip-like body and the lateral hole is made equal to that between the small projection near the other side edge 13 and the lateral hole and the pitch of the small holes 14 releasably engageable with feed projections is made constant extending over the seam between the unit containers.
