<p>An installation for storing and feeding hardware in their correct position comprises a storage container (10), a slope conveyor (12) and a guiding conveyor (20) parallel to the first one and provided with a defined return section (68) for misguided excess hardware which purposefully returns them to the inlet area (32) of the slope conveyor (12). The slope conveyor comprises besides the actual conveying section (50) a by-pass section (52) for receiving hardware laterally pushed out of the conveying section (50) and transporting the hardware back to the inlet area (32) of the slop conveyor (12). These measures avoid that a heap of hardware reaches the outlet area (40) of the slope conveyor (12), forming there a traffic jam which would prevent the hardware from being transferred to the guiding section (64).</p> |
