<p>An apparatus (10) for attaching pull tabs (S9) automatically one at a time onto a slider body (S) comprises a pull tab transport unit (11), a clamper applying unit (12) and a clamping unit (13). The transport unit (11) includes a pull tab transfer chute (15) having a pair of elongate horizontal guide rails (16a, 16b) defining therebetween a guide slit 17 along which a series of pull tabs (S9) are fed for attachment one at a time onto sliders (S) transferred along a horizontally extending chute (33). A clamper pusher (42) is provided for moving a clamper (S7) of the slider (S) pivotally through 90 DEG to lie substantially parallel with the guide slit (17) of the pull tab chute (15). A transfer conveyor (20) operatively associated with the clamper applying unit (12) is movable along a rectangular path to move and set the pull tab (S9) in position for connection and clamping with the slider S. <IMAGE></p> |
