Device for receiving and packaging a strip of electrical components

摘要

A strip (11) of pairs of orthogonally projecting fragile terminals (14 and 16) with components (10) bonded therebetween is wound in a trackway (58) formed by a helical fin (57) extending from a cylinder (51). The cylinder (51) is mounted on a drum (52) that is intermittently driven by a constantly energized motor (36). Facilities (59) are provided to permit axial loading of the cylinder on the drum. A drive pin (67) arrangement provides a positive drive from the drum to the cylinder. The height of the helical fin is designed to be higher than the height of the strip of terminated components so that the confined strip of components may be transported without danger of damage.
