DEVICE FOR AUTOMATICALLY DISPENSING COMPONENTS
First Claim
1. A dispenser device for dispensing components, in particular components designed for enabling parts to be assembled together by said components, each of which components is provided with a head and with a shank so as to form a circular shoulder or a circular groove, said dispenser device comprising at least:
- a main storage magazine that stores said components loose, which magazine extends vertically and has at least one vertical plane;
an extraction plate that extracts components, which plate is arranged parallel to the vertical plane, said plate having an edge at its upper end, which edge is inclined relative to the horizontal and is arranged to come to bear on the shoulders or in the grooves of components;
an actuation mechanism that actuates the plate so as to drive it in up-and-down vertical reciprocating motion, and so as to remove the components upwards while their grooves are bearing against the edge; and
a temporary storage system that temporarily stores the components, which system has an upstream portion arranged to come into register with a lower end of the inclined edge when the plate is in the high position, and to enable components to be transferred from the plate into said storage system, said system being provided with a transfer mechanism arranged to convey the components in succession from the upstream portion towards a downstream portion that is designed to enable the components to be extracted in succession from the dispenser device.
