Abstract
A driven, rotatable cylinder (11-1) spaced from a counterstructure (11-4, 11-2&3, 11b-2,3&4, 11c-2&2', 11B-2, 11C-2, 11-5, 11-6) to permit parts or connectors (P or C) to fall between the rotatable cylinder and the counterstructure. A continuous drive belt (16) is employed with an idler (14-6) to permit adjustment of the separation between the cylinder and the counterstructure while the cylinder is in motion.
Claims6
Apparatus for the precision separation of molded parts from connectors, which comprises
- a first rotatable cylinder;
- a rotatable countermember spaced from said first rotatable cylinder by a prescribed amount to permit either said molded parts or said connectors to fall through the spacing;
- a second rotatable cylinder spaced from said countermember by a prescribed amount to permit said molded parts or said connectors to fall between said second cylinder and said countermember;
- a continuous drive member connecting a drive motor to the first and second cylinders with a intermediate idler so that the cylinders rotate in opposite directions;
- and
- means for rotating said countermember by said drive motor.
