The apparatus comprises a housing (10) which rotatably supports a carrier member (14) in which a plurality of locating bushes (18) are provided for locating components (3) of different sizes over a shearing blade (20) for shearing off of the pip (2). The blade (20), having a circular cutting edge (28), is eccentrically mounted on an eccentric spigot (34) of a rotating shaft (30). Each component is entered into an opening (19) in the appropriate bush (18) until the component abuts a radial surface of the blade (20). As the blade (20) rotates, due to its eccentric mounting it moves transversely across the pip (2) thereby shearing it from the component (2). The carrier member (14) may be indexed around to align different locating bushes (18) with the blade (20) to accommodate components of different sizes. <IMAGE> |
