The invention refers to a method and apparatus for substantially automatically setting needles of needle boards of machines for the production of textile needle-felt webs, with needles of which the rear shaft end is bent by 90 DEG to form an L-shaped head, wherein first of all the needles, oriented by ends, are filled into a container situated on the upper end of an inclined plane and subsequently, leaving the container individually through a slot in one container wall and lying parallel to each other, they slide on and then past a vibrating inclined plane, wherein the L-shaped heads on the ends of the needle shafts fall as a result of gravity into a gap along the inclined plane and along one lateral edge thereof, and the thus oriented needles slide at the lower end of the inclined plane into the hollow space of a magazine; upon the insertion of the magazine in the needle setting apparatus the needles are pushed in a direction opposite the direction of filling against a stop and guide plate and are pushed along this plate individually and consecutively into a bore in the needle board by means of a ram capable of being moved up and down. |
