In a feed mechanism for parts comprising a plurality of oblong pallets (30) provided with vessels (32) for receiving parts, a guide system conducting along a looped path (36) according to FIG. 2 the pallets (30) which are essentially parallel to one another, the looped path (36) composed of two moving paths (38) which are located parallel next to one another and approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pallets and two transition paths (40) which connect the moving paths, and a drive for moving the pallets along the looped path (36), the drive having a drive element (72, 74) each in the regions of the two transition paths (40), it is proposed that deflection paths (39) having engagement and disengagement position for the pallets are provided in the looped path (36) between the moving paths (38) and the transition paths (40), wherein a pallets located in one of the engagement or disengagement positions is displaced relative to its position in the closest transition path by a distance which is less than the width of a pallets, but is not vanishing, toward the respective other transition path. In this manner, a substantially simplified drive mechanism is obtained because, in addition to these drive elements, no further drive elements acting on the pallets are required. |
