Bar stock feeding means

Abstract

In order to so improve a bar stock feeding means for machine tools comprising a longitudinal guide means on which several holders which each receive the bar stock in a guide means are held for movement in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal guide means, and a drive means with which the holders are displaceable from an initial position in which they exhibit a maximum spacing from one another in the longitudinal direction into an end position on the machine tool side in which they exhibit a minimum spacing from one another in the longitudinal direction, that it can be sturdily and structurally simply made, it is proposed that the longitudinal guide means comprise a guide element having a longitudinal thread, that the holders be held in parallel alignment with one another by threaded rings engaging the longitudinal thread, and that the holders be movable in the longitudinal direction between the initial position and the end position by a relatively rotation between the guide element and the threaded rings initiated by the drive means. initiated by the drive means.
