Abstract
The object of the invention is a means for untangling springs (60) contained in a supply bin (12), characterized in that it comprises untangling means (14) with a rail (30) for receiving springs, provided with an open groove (36), means (32) for dynamically calibrating the springs, means for supplying said rail with springs and evacuation means (18).
Claims10
A device for untangling springs (60) contained in a supply bin (12), characterized in that it comprises untangling means (14) with a rail (30) for receiving springs, provided with an open groove (36), dynamic calibrating means (32) for the springs, means (34) for supplying springs to said rail and means (18) for evacuating springs at the outlet of the groove.
Untangling device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the dynamic calibrating means (32) comprise a wheel (37) provided with notches (40) and rotating from downstream toward upstream.
Untangling device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the means (34) for supplying springs to the rail (30) comprise a plate (50) vertically movable with an alternating movement, parallel to the rail, forming an elevator, the edge (52) being inclined toward said rail.
Untangling device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the evacuation means (18) comprise a nozzle (62) for the emission of air under pressure, positioned upstream of the groove (36) of the rail (30) and directed into the groove from upstream to downstream and the ejection means (68) comprising a nozzle (70) opening below the dynamic calibrating means (32).
