Abstract
Disclosed is an automatic selection and delivery apparatus adapted to discriminate between correctly and incorrectly assembled bodies consisting of a plurality of assembled parts and at the same time deliver to a delivery chute only those bodies which have been assembled correctly. This is accomplished through a detection operation performed by a delivery pin which scans recesses that are provided in a base to accommodate the assembled bodies, the delivery pin being adapted to detect a through-hole which will exist only in a correctly assembled body.

An automatic selection and delivery apparatus of assembled mechanical parts which comprises:
- a base having a disk-shaped configuration and being provided about its circumference with a plurality of recesses spaced apart at a fixed angular pitch for receiving assembled bodies, the correctness of which are to be detected;
- said base being rotated step-wise by said fixed angular pitch;
- a delivery pin having an end for engaging a through-hole which will exist in a correctly assembled body but not in an incorrectly assembled body;
- and
- said delivery pin being driven radially of said disc-shaped base along one of said recesses in said base whenever said base comes to a stop.
