Pushing mechanism in a lead frame conveying apparatus

摘要

In a lead frame conveying device for bringing lead frames into a storage magazine, a pusher claw is swingably mounted to a claw mover. When a lead frame is brought into the magazine, the claw mover moves towards the magazine, and this releases an engagement of the pusher claw with a stopper; as a result, the pusher claw swings down (by its own weight) so that the tip end of the push claw comes into contact with the trailing edge of the lead frame so that the pusher claw pushes the lead frame completely into the magazine.
