Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A device for the gravitational feeding of workpieces comprising at least one inclined rod for slidably accommodating workpieces, said rod being pivotably mounted at a pin and attached at its midpoint to a clamping member, the free ends of the rod alternately occupying an elevated position for receiving workpieces and a lowered position for feeding workpieces as the rod is rotated about the pivot, a biased arrestor member in cooperating relationship with the rod for controlling the feeding of the workpieces, and lever means mechanically linked to the arrestor member for moving said arrestor against the biasing force to individually release the workpieces.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
103 words
A device for the gravitational feeding of workpieces comprising at least one inclined rod for slidably accommodating workpieces, said rod being pivotably mounted at a pin and attached at its midpoint to a clamping member, the free ends of the rod alternately occupying an elevated position for receiving workpieces and a lowered position for feeding workpieces as the rod is rotated about the pivot, a biased arrestor member in cooperating relationship with the rod for controlling the feeding of the workpieces, and lever means mechanically linked to the arrestor member for moving said arrestor against the biasing force to individually release the workpieces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
A device for the gravitational feeding of workpieces as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a movable inserting member mounted adjacent to the rod, said inserting member having a finger portion in cooperating relationship with the rod such that movement of the inserting member will cause the finger portion to engage a stationary workpiece and remove same from the rod.
