<p>A device and automated method for inserting spacers into the grooves of a door. The insertion device contains holder (28) which supports reservoir (30) for holding a plurality of spacers (not shown), covered by lid (32) and attached to connector (38) for transporting spacers (not shown) to rest (36). Rest (36) has a channel (40) with a bottom (44). End (46) of bottom (44) receives a hammer (60) which is enclosed in case (64). In operation, the guide (72) is aligned with a door groove and facing aperture (48), a portion of a door is used to depress button (82), meanwhile actuator (80) which is connected to a pneumatic pressure source (not shown) by line (84) vents air pressure into conduit (86). Y-joint (88) divides conduit (86) into sections (86a, 86b), wherein section (86b) leads to an opening (90) which agitates a plurality of spacers (not shown) and section (86a) activates hammer (60) to expel a spacer (not shown) through channel (40) into a door groove. Finally spring (62) returns hammer (60) to its resting position.</p> |
