Abstract
An apparatus for taking up a plurality of rod type materials one by one from a pile of such materials is disclosed in which a plurality of rod type materials are stored temporarily in a rack. A part of a rod type material is separated from the plural rod type materials by a take-up element provided on the rack, and the separated rod material is gripped by a clamp provided in opposition to the take-up element. The rod type material fixed in the clamp is then drawn through a drawing element to be completely separated from the remaining rod type materials in the rack.
Claims6
An apparatus for taking up rod type bodies, comprising at least one take-up means, which is provided on a rack used to temporarily store a plurality of rod type bodies thereon, and which is adapted to separate a certain rod type body from the plural rod type bodies, at least one clamp means provided in opposition to said take-up means and adapted to fix therein said rod type body separated by said take-up means, and at least one means for slidably grasping said rod type body fixed in said clamp means, and means for moving said grasping means in the lengthwise direction of said rack.
An apparatus for taking-up rod type bodies comprising:
- a storage rack for temporarily storing rod type bodies thereon, provided with take-up means for pushing up the rod type bodies one at a time,
- clamp means for firmly holding each rod type body pushed up by the take-up means, at a point along the length of the rody type body, said clamp means being disposed above said storage rack and secured to a track mounted above and parallel to the storage rack;
- and
- means movable along the track for slidably grasping the rod type body so as to raise said rod type body held by the clamp means, said clamp means having an auxiliary retractable means for pivoting the clamp means to the side of a feed rack disposed adjacent to the storage rack, said means movable along the track for slidably grasping the rod type body having an auxiliary retractable means for pivoting the means movable along the track for slidably grasping the rod type body.
An apparatus for taking-up rod type bodies comprising:
- a storage rack having an opening and being provided with take-up means having a head disposed at the location of said opening;
- clamp means mounted to said head and pivotable relative to the head;
- a track disposed in front of said opening and parallel to said storage rack;
- and
- means movable along said track for slidably grasping a rod type body so as to raise said rod type body held between said head and clamp means of the take-up means.
