INRICHTING VOOR HET TOEVOEREN VAN KETENELEMENTEN AAN EEN MECHANISME VOOR HET BEVESTIGEN VAN DEZE ELEMENTEN AAN EEN GEDRUKTE-BEDRADINGSPLAAT.

摘要

An apparatus for storing and supplying parallel lead circuit elements that are secured to an elongated web is provided. The apparatus is adapted to supply the parallel lead circuit elements to a mechanism particularly adapted to process and secure the parallel lead electronic circuit elements to a printed circuit board. Storage and supply of the electronic circuit elements is affected by winding each of the webs carrying the parallel lead circuit elements about a reel, which reel is enclosed in a case. The apparatus is adapted to support each of the cases at predetermined positions and further dispose appropriate guiding and feeding structure proximate to each of the cases to effect guiding and feeding of each of the webs to the mechanism for processing and securing the parallel lead electronic circuit elements to a printed circuit board.
