In the figures, 1 cylinder cores for cylinder or. Security locks. Each cylinder core 1 is provided in the usual way with a recess 2 extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis L of the core, into which the shaft 3 of a key 4 can be inserted.

The cylinder core 1 is further provided with first bores 5 , which are provided at predetermined intervals in the direction of the longitudinal axis L. In a conventional cylinder core 1 , a total of seven holes 5 are provided, for example, at equal intervals. Each bore 5 serves to receive a core pin 6 , which is formed in a known manner at one end 7 tapering or conical and engages with this end in a recess or recess 8 of the key provided on a narrow side of the shaft 3 , in such a way that in this case the end of the core pin 6 facing away from the end 7 is flush with the outer or peripheral surface of the cylinder core 1 . In the embodiment shown, the cylinder core 1 also has second bores 9 , which are also distributed in the direction of the longitudinal axis L and serve to receive further core pins 6 , which engage from the side in recesses 10 provided on a lateral contour of the shaft, and again with the end 7 in such a way that when the core pin 6 is suitable, the other end facing away from the end 7 is aligned with the outer or peripheral surface of the cylinder core 1 .

In special lock systems, for example lock systems with a central key etc., 5 and / or 9 core pins 6 can be accommodated in the bores together with short pins or sleeves 11 .

In order to ensure a sufficient variation of different locks or different keys 4 , the core pins 6 are available in different lengths, usually twenty types or length gradations being used, namely each gradation in an original length and in an associated excess length.

Steel core pins 6 are used for most applications. For some special applications, for example in locks that are to be used in watercraft, core pins 6 made of brass are required, so that taking into account the gradations, the associated excess lengths and different materials, a total of eighty different core pins 6 in addition to the sleeves 11 , which are also at least are available in different materials and are available for the assembly of a cylinder lock or cylinder core.

When manufacturing a cylinder lock or a lock system, the procedure is generally such that the key or keys 4 are first made. Then who who the cylinder core 1 or the cylinder cores 1 with the shaft 3 or key 4 inserted into the respective core 1 according to an assembly or work plan already established during the production of the key 4 at the bores 5 and 9 with core pins 6 of the respective length determined by this work plan or by the design of the key 4 , if appropriate. equipped with sleeves 11 . It is understood that not only the core with the configuration of a cylinder 1 in the bores 5 and 9, the core pins 6 employed vary, but that the core pins 6 inserted into these holes and core of the cylinder core 1 to the cylinder are deviating 1, it was for it to be mounted several most suitable for a key four locks.

FIGS. 4 and the following refer to a tung Einrich with which event the loading of cylinder cores 1 by the core pins 6 and. Sleeves 11 is completely mechanically possible, specifically for the individual cylinder cores 1 according to the respective specifications or work plans.

The device in its most general form is shown in FIG. 4 with the essential work stations. Essential component of this device is a Förderein device 12 on which a plurality of workpiece carriers 13 are provided, which are moved on a self-contained path of the transport device 12 in the direction of arrow A at the work stations. A total of six workstations 14-19 are shown in FIG. 4. It is understood that the number of these stations can also be larger or smaller. The peculiarity of the Transportein device 12 is that the transport route for moving the workpiece carrier 13 from a variety of individually controlled, contiguous straight-line individual sections 12 'and 12 ''and two likewise individually controlled and driven single or curve sections 12th '''Composed. The individual routes 12 'are each seen in the area of a workstation 14-19 and are controlled by this workstation or by an electronic control device 20 (preferably microprocessor control device). The between the individual sections 12 'arranged individual sections 12 ''and / or 12 ''' are each controlled by a preceding and / or subsequent work station 14-19 or its control device 20 in the transport direction A. The individual control devices 20 work together in a certain work cycle or are controlled by a central or higher-level control device 21 (computer). In any case, the control of the individual workstations 14-19 and the individual sections 12 'there, which also allow a step-by-step further movement of the workpiece carriers 13 at the respective workstation 14-19 in the transport direction A or counter to this transport direction, in order to carry out special operations there, so individual, that is, independently of the other workstations 14-19 and the associated individual sections 12 ', that at each workstation the respective activity (measuring, assembling the core pins, etc.) also in the interest of the highest possible performance (number of be-packed cylinder cores 1 each Unit of time) can be carried out as optimally as possible.

The transport device 12 with the workpiece carriers 13 , with the individual control of the individual sections 12 ', 12 ''and 12 ''' is also referred to as "longitudinal transfer" and is described for example in EP-A-03 40 639.

For loading, the cylinder cores 1 of the device are supplied in a container 22 which has a plurality of compartments 22 'for receiving a cylinder core 1 each. Each cylinder core 1 is already provided with the associated key sel 4 . Only if several cylinder cores 1 are to be fitted appropriately for a common key 4 , only the first cylinder core 1 has this key 4 .

From the compartment 22 ', the cylinder cores 1 are removed and successively transferred to a station 23 which essentially carries out a preliminary test, ie in particular the presence of a properly manufactured cylinder core 1 and / or the presence of the bores 5 and 9 and / or the correct one Checks the orientation of the cylinder core 1 and / or the presence of a key 4 properly inserted into the cylinder core 1 or the absence of such a key in the case of additional cylinder cores etc. which are also suitable for a preceding key, and in which, for example, even minor machining operations on the cylinder cores 1 , for example deburring of the holes 5 and 9 , etc. is carried out.

The cylinder cores 1 are passed on from the station 23 in a predetermined orientation to the work station 14 , at which the workpiece carriers 13 move past. A cylinder core 1 with the key 4 carried along is then inserted in a predetermined orientation on each workpiece carrier 13 or in a first receptacle 24 formed there, in such a way that the cylinder core 1 is oriented with its longitudinal axis L in the transport direction A and the bores 5 are at the top.

Each cylinder core 1 positioned in this way on a workpiece carrier 13 is then moved on to the work station 15 , in which the individual bores 5 and 9 are successively measured with a key 4 arranged in the cylinder core 1 , specifically with regard to the required length of the core pins 6 . For this measurement, the workpiece carrier 13 is moved step by step by a distance corresponding to the distance between the bores 5 and the bores 9 , so that the measuring device provided at the measuring station 15 can be arranged in a stationary manner. The measurement results of the station 15 are sent to the central Steuerein device 21 . There, the measurement results are compared with the individual work plan entered for the respective cylinder core 1 . Parts optionally these measurement results with the work plan match, that is, an assembly of the cylinder core with core pins 6 with the prescribed in the routing gradations. Possible in consideration of the length, so the control device 21 outputs the arranged on the respective workpiece carrier 13 cylinder core 1, for use with the Core pins 6 free. For individualization of the cylinder cores 1 and the workpiece carrier 13 , the latter are each provided with a corresponding coding which is queried at the work stations or reading devices 25 provided there.

If it is found during the test at the work station 15 that a cylinder core 1 cannot be loaded according to the work schedule, the subsequent work stations 16-18 receive the information that the workpiece carrier 13 concerned has to pass through these stations without the cylinder core being loaded 1 is made. At the work station 19 , the corresponding cylinder core 1 is then removed in accordance with the arrow B as an unusable cylinder core.

At the work station 15 is a gripper or a gripper 26 is provided pulled out with the aid of existing in a cylinder core 1 key 4 after measuring out of the cylinder core 1 and into a special key receptacle 24 'of the workpiece support is used. 13 The extraction of the respective key 4 from the cylinder core 1 is achieved that the gripper 26 detects this key to its previous from the cylinder core 1, tracked in the transport direction A at the end and moving forward the workpiece carrier 13 holds. The key 4 is then raised with the gripper 26 and the key receptacle 24 following in the transport direction A is moved under the raised gripper 26 , into which the key 4 is then placed by lowering the gripper 26 again. With the aid of the gripper 26 , it is also possible to keep the key 4 carried with the first cylinder core 1 to the work station 15 when checking or fitting several cylinder cores 1 suitable for a common key 4 for checking the subsequent cylinder cores 1 . For this purpose, the key 4 is withdrawn from the first cylinder core 1 by means of the gripper 26 and raised with the gripper 26 . There is then no insertion of this key into the key receptacle 24 'of the workpiece carrier 13 in question , but this leaves the work station 15 , to which a further workpiece carrier 13 with the further cylinder core 1 suitable for the same key is moved, in one position, in which this further cylinder core 1 is located in the transport direction A somewhat in front of the key 4 held on the gripper 26 . After lowering the gripper 26 , the key 4 can then be inserted into the cylinder core 1 by moving the workpiece carrier 13 counter to the transport direction A. Thereafter, the measuring cylinder is carried core 1 as well as the removal of the key 4 from the cylinder core 1 described, the key 4 is stored in either the key pad 24 ', or remains on the gripper 26, if a still further, for this key matching Cylinder core 1 follows.

At the work station 16 or at a first section of this station, the bores 5 , but also the bores 9 , are filled with the required core pins 6 , with each bore 5 again preferably being moved to the corresponding assembly position by gradually moving the workpiece carrier 13 forward. The bores 5 are populated from above.

At a second section of the work station 16 is carried out in a similar manner, but not from above, but from the side, the equipping of the cylinder cores 1 or the bores with the core pins 6 .

Of course, two completely separate work stations can also be used to fill the holes 5 and 9 . The sleeves 11 are loaded in the work station 17 .

In the workstation 18, a sleeve will definitely, with the core pins 6 and, if applicable. With sleeves 11 fitted cylinder core 1 is pushed 27, the pins 6 is prevented from the respective cylinder core 1 from falling out of the core. The sleeves 27 are the workstation 18 from a Vorratsbe container 28 (vibration pot) and are removed during the final assembly of the respective cylinder lock and returned to the reservoir 28 .

The properly equipped and secured with the sleeves 27 th cylinder cores 1 are removed at the work station 19 for further assembly according to the arrow C.

In order to ensure that the correct or required core pin 6 is also fitted in the correct orientation despite the large number of different core pins 6 on the work stations 16 and 17 , these core pins 6 on the work stations 16 and 17 are each of different types (size and Material) as well as in a given orientation in their own magazines 29 . At the work stations 17 and 18 , these magazines 29 are provided in several stacks one above the other. As will be described later, each magazine 29 is configured and in that each specific only for a single type of core pins 6 magazine 29 are respectively positioned only at a certain position of the work station 16 or 17 to the input of a certain core pin feed channel 64 can, which is intended for the core pins 6 of the magazine in question and is used to feed these core pins 6 to the loading position. The coding of each magazine is further designed such that it can be detected by a reading device 31 which interacts with the control device 20 or another control device of the work station 16 and can be checked by this control device. Furthermore, the code 30 of each magazine 29 can also be read by a reading device 32 , which is provided on a device 33 for filling the magazines 29 . The reading means 32 cooperates with an electronic control device together 34 of the device 33, that is when positioning one with core pins 6 zufüllenden or refilled the magazine 29 in the pre direction 33 the kinds of replenished core pins is determined by the reading means 32 cooperating control means 34th With the control device 34 , the device 33 is then automatically set in the manner described in more detail below for filling with core pins 6 of the type for which the magazine 29 inserted in the device 33 is intended. The core pins 6 are provided in a storage container or vibrating pot 35 of the device 33 , in a completely unordered or unsorted manner, ie in this vibrating pot 35 there are core pins 6 of all gradations including the associated excess lengths, but only core pins of one material, ie either core pins made of steel or brass.

Only the appropriate core pins 6 are then automatically refilled by the device 33 into the magazine 29 due to the coding 30 . As a result, errors when filling the magazines 29 are excluded. The use of magazines 29 at the work station 16 and the use of a separate device 33 for refilling these magazines also results in a significant simplification of the work station 16 in the automatic sorting of the core pins 6 that precludes errors and eliminates errors.

Below are some key elements of the pre direction described in more detail.

Workpiece carrier 13

The workpiece carrier 13 consists essentially of a rectangular plate 36 , the device 12 slides in the region of the individual sections 12 'with its underside on a surface of the transport device, with one long side rests on a guide surface of the individual section 12 ' and provided with one on the other long side Tooth 37 engages in a toothed belt, not shown, of the respective individual section 12 ', with which the tool carrier 13 is moved in a controlled manner on the individual section 12 ' in the required manner. In the area of individual sections 12 '' and 12 '''is the plate 36 which is provided at its corners with guide rollers 38, shown on unspecified, for the movement of the tool carrier elements 13 are driven in rotation Förderele, for example strap on.

On the top of the plate 36 , a block 39 is fastened, which forms the receptacle 24 and for this purpose forms a channel-like support surface 40 extending in the longitudinal direction 1 of the tool carrier 13 and thus in the transport direction A on its upper side, which core 1 for supporting the respective cylinder serves and is accordingly concavely curved in a circular arc shape, with a radius corresponding to half the diameter of the cylinder cores 1 about an axis running parallel to the longitudinal axis 1 .

A web 41 is provided on each side of the support surface 40 . The two webs 41 , which run parallel to the longitudinal extent of the support surface 40 , are connected to one another at their end, which is closer to the front side of the workpiece carrier 14, by a connecting piece 42 to form a fork-shaped locking element 43 . The front side of the workpiece carrier 13 is the left in Figs. 5 and 6, with moving in the transport direction A workpiece carrier 13 leading side. The connector 42 is accordingly located at the front end of the support surface 40 . In the area of the rear end of the support surface 40 , the two webs 41 and the locking element 43 are pivotally mounted about an axis by means of a hinge pin 44 which is perpendicular to the longitudinal extent 1 of the workpiece carrier 13 in a parallel to the bottom of the plate 36 and thus in the transport device 12 inserted workpiece carrier 13 is a horizontal, vertical conveying direction A extending axis. Attached to the connecting piece 42 is an extension 45 which extends through the plate 36 and has two guide rollers 46 at its lower end provided in a recess on the underside of the plate 36 . These guide rollers 46 interact with a provided on the transport means 12 or at the local transport path control or guide surface 47 together such that wherever this guide or control surface 47 is provided, the locking element 43 against the action of a spring means 48 in the esp. in FIGS. 5 and 7 shown locking position is swung, while where the guide surface 47 is absent, the locking element 43 and the webs are pivoted 41 about the hinge pin 44 from the locking position to bottom. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the two webs 41 are in the locking position of the INTERLOCKS lung element 43 so far over the support surface 40 upward, that the webs 41 9 a on the support surface 40 positioned cylinder core 1 laterally cover the holes . This ensures that the core pins 6 inserted into the holes 9 are secured against falling out. It is understood that while the bores 9 are fitted with the core pieces 6, the locking element 43 of the respective workpiece carrier 13 is pivoted into the non-locking position, ie the guide surface 47 is missing in the section of the work station 16 there . Furthermore, the locking element 43 is pivoted into the non-locking position when the respective sleeve 27 is pushed on at the work station 18 .

In principle, it is of course also possible that where the respective locking element 43 is to be moved into the non-locking position, the guide surface 47 is present, but is formed by a segment which can be raised or lowered, as shown in FIG . 5 is indicated by the double arrow D. When the segment is lowered, the locking element is then in the non-locking position.

At the rear area in relation to the transport direction A, which follows the hinge pin 44 , the support surface 40 applies in a fork-like holding area 49 which is also concavely curved in a circular arc about the axis parallel to the longitudinal axis 1 and which relates to the respective cylinder core 1 in its area the direction of conveyance A takes up about half the circumference. A hook-like or pawl-like fixing element 50 is then also pivotally mounted here about a hinge pin 51 , the axis of which lies parallel to the axis of the hinge pin 44 . The fixing element 50 is biased by a spring 52 into a position in which it engages behind the respective cylinder core 1 at the end held in the holding area 49 at the top and thereby fixed on the receptacle 24 . The fixing element 50 is designed like a fork in such a way that the opening 2 of the respective cylinder core 1 remains accessible through an opening of this fixing element. On the block 39 to the rear end of the workpiece carrier 13 follows the already mentioned receptacle 24 ', which is provided in the direction of the longitudinal axis 1 in a line with the receptacle 24 on the top of the plate 36 . Laterally from the receptacle 24 ', a receptacle 24 ''is formed, into which the cylinder core 1 provided with this sleeve is placed in the work station 18 after the sleeve 27 has been pushed on.

Workstation 16 and magazine 29

Details of this work station 16 and the magazines 29 used there are shown in FIGS. 8-12.

The magazines 29 each consist of a flat, essentially square or cuboid housing 53 which has two chamfered corners on the front of the respective magazine 29 for optical orientation. The housing 53 is formed in two parts and consists of an upper housing part 53 'and a lower housing part 53 '', of which at least the upper housing part 53 ' consists at least on the top of a transparent material, preferably made of transparent plastic (acrylic glass). The two housing parts 53 'and 53 ''are shaped so that they form a mandrel 54 in the interior of the housing 53 in the middle. A hose 55 made of a transparent material, ie preferably made of a transparent plastic, is spirally arranged in several turns around this mandrel 54 . The tube 55 , which is fixed in this single-layer spiral in the housing 53 or between the top and bottom of this housing, forms with its tube channel a supply channel 56 for receiving the core pins 6 intended for the respective magazine 29 in a predetermined orientation. For this purpose, the supply channel 56 has a cross section which is somewhat larger than the cross section of the core pins 6 , but which is in any case so small that the core pins 6 cannot turn over in the channel 56 over the shortest length.

With one end, that is, in the embodiment shown with the outer end of the screw-like arrangement, the hose 55 is connected to a core pin opening 57 at the rear of the magazine 29 . This opening serves both to fill the magazine with the core pins 6 and to release these core pins from the magazine 29 . The other end of the hose 55 is connected to an auxiliary channel 58 , which in turn is connected to a compressed air opening 59 provided on the rear side of the magazine 29 . Via this compressed air opening 59 , compressed or conveying air is passed into the hose 55 for the delivery of the core pins 6 from the magazine in the magazine positioned in the work station 16 . On the back of the magazine 29 there is also a bore 60 which mechanically characterizes this magazine and is positioned differently from magazine to magazine. Furthermore, the coding 30 is also provided in the area of the rear of the magazine 29 .

At the work station 16 , a magazine holder 62 is provided on a machine frame 61 , in which several magazines 29 can be inserted and fixed one above the other in several stacks or groups and at predetermined magazine positions, using quick-release devices 63 '. The magazines 29 are each arranged horizontally with their top and bottom sides and lie with their back against a board 63 forming a vertical contact surface, in such a way that the core pin opening 57 of each magazine 29 positioned at the correct magazine position has its own, the Supply channel 64 assigned to the respective magazine 29 for the core pins 6 and the compressed air opening 59 is connected to a channel or connection 65 for the compressed or conveying air and engages in the bore 60 with a pin 66 corresponding to the position of this bore. The pins 66 on the individual magazine positions are positioned so differently that only the correct magazine 29 can be attached to each magazine position.

Each core pin feed channel 64 , which in turn is formed by a tube or tube lengths, leads with sections 64 '' and 64 'via a test station 67 and a device 68 for locking and separating the core pins 6 to a placement head 69 . The placement head 69 has a plurality of inputs 70 , to each of which the device 68 following the end of a channel section 64 'is connected. All inputs 70 open into a common, in the placement head 69 formed vertical placement channel 71 , the open, lower end of which is located when fitting a bore 5 with a core pin 6 un indirectly above this bore 5 of the placement position.

In order to reduce the number of inputs 70 , it is also possible for an input 70 or a section 64 ′ to be provided jointly for a plurality of magazines 29 , with each device 68 , which is then likewise provided jointly for a plurality of magazines 29 , A controlled feeding or delivery of the core pins 6 originating from different magazines 29 to the respective section 64 'takes place.

It goes without saying that a plurality of placement heads 69 can also be provided at the work station 16 , specifically one placement head 69 for a group of magazines 29 .

In the embodiment shown, the core pins 6 in the respective magazines 29 are oriented such that their ends 7 emerge from the core pin opening 57 in advance. Through the conveying air supplied to the compressed air opening 59, as many core pins 6 are conveyed from the respective magazine 29 into the respective channel 64 until the entire section 64 '' of this channel is completely filled with core pins 6 . It goes without saying that the channel 64 also has a cross section such that the core pins 6 in the channel 64 cannot turn around. If the test station 64 no longer detects core pins 6 , a signal which gives the replacement of the respective empty magazine 29 is given. With this signal, the work station 16 is preferably blocked until after the magazine 29 has been replaced, the test station 67 again detects core pins 6 .

As shown in FIG. 9, the device 68 consists in wesent union of a rotary valve 73 that can be swiveled back and forth by a drive 72 with a receiving opening 74 , which in the starting position of the rotary valve 73 is congruent with its lower end with the input of the section 64 ' lies. The thickness of the slider 73 in the area of the receiving opening 74 and thus the length of the receiving opening 74 open on both sides are equal to the length of a core pin 6 , which is to be supplied to the insertion head 69 via the relevant channel 64 or section 64 '.

From the starting position, in which the receiving opening 64 is congruent with its lower end with the input of the section 64 ', the slide 73 can be moved into a recording position in which the receiving opening 74 with its upper end is congruent with the end of a section 64 '' lies, the lower end of this receiving opening 74 but is covered by a surface of the housing 75 of the device 64 . In contrast to the schematic diagram of FIG. 9, the end of section 64 '' and the beginning of section 64 'are actually offset perpendicular to the plane of the drawing of FIG. 9, in such a way that the aforementioned overlaps are possible when the slide 73 is pivoted .

Whenever a core pin of the type in a section 64 '' is required for assembly, the slide 73 of the device 68 in question is moved from the starting position into the receiving position, so that the first in the relevant section 64 '' available core pin 6 can slip into the receiving opening 74 . This core pin 6 is then carried along when the slider 73 is moved back into the starting position and finally reaches the assembly head 69 via the section 64 '. The relevant section 64 '' is locked again.

A device 68 is provided for each section 64 'or for each input 70 . If the slider 73 of this device has a plurality of receiving positions, in which the receiving opening 74 is arranged with the same cover 64 '', the device for several magazines 29 is provided together.

In order to avoid jamming of the core pins 6 in the magazines 29 or in the supply channels 56 there, a vibration device is provided on the receptacle 62 , via which a vibration movement loosening the core pins 6 is exerted on the magazines 29 .

Device 33 for refilling the magazines 29

The device 33 or the most important details of this device are shown in FIGS. 13 to 15.

The device 33 has on a device frame 77 the above-mentioned vibration pot 35 , from which the core pins 6 are unsorted via a longitudinal conveyor 78 (vibration conveyor) fed to a device 79 in which the core pins 6 are separated and the core pin feed and test - And turning station 18 are supplied. This station 80 essentially consists of a wheel 81 driven in a clocked manner about a vertical machine axis MA, which has a plurality of receptacles for core pins 6 on its circumference, which are evenly distributed there and each formed by through bores 82 . Each bore 82 has a diameter that is the same or slightly larger than the diameter of the core pins 6th With these receptacles or bores 82 , the wheel 81 is moved past the device 79 and subsequently to a test position 83 , then to a second test position 84 , then to an ejection position 85 and then to a first and second delivery position 86 and 87 . The wheel 81 is located with its underside at a close distance above the top of a stationary machine table 88 , which closes the respective recess or bore 82 on its underside in the area of a device 79 and positions 83 to 86 . A receiving position 89 for the magazine 29 to be filled is also formed on the machine frame 77 . This recording position 89 has a vibrator 90 with a horizontal support surface on which the magazine 29 is attached with its underside lying. The magazine 29 attached to the receiving or filling position 89, preferably with quick release devices 63 ', is connected with its core pin opening 57 to a feed head 91 . The compressed air opening 69 is open to the atmosphere or is connected to a connection for negative pressure. On the basis of the coding 30 of the magazine 29 , the device 33 is set in the manner described above to fill this magazine with a specific core pin type corresponding to this coding.

A core pin 6 , which has a certain size and orientation purely by chance, is fed to each bore 82 on the device 79 . The length of this core pin 6 is then checked at the test position 83 by means of a plunger inserted into the bore 82 from above. If this length does not correspond to the type of core pin with which the magazine 29 can be filled, this core pin 6 is ejected in a controlled manner by the control device 34 at the ejection station 85 and returned to the vibration pot 35 . If the measurement at test position 83 shows that the core pin corresponds to the desired type, the orientation of this core pin 6 is determined at test position 84 . For this test, an aperture or opening 92 is provided at position 84 in the machine table 88 , the cross section of which is smaller than the diameter of the core pins 6 . Behind this opening is a pin 94 which is biased by a spring 93 . Furthermore, a plunger 95 which can be inserted into the respective bore 82 from above is provided at position 84 . Only when the respective core pin 6 has at the end 7 downward while pushing against the core pin 6 tappet 95, the end 7 can move against the action of the spring 93 through the aperture 92 through the pin 94th This movement is detected by a sensor 96 and reported to the control device 34 as a criterion for the orientation of the end 7 downwards.

If the respective core pin 6 points with its end 7 downward, it is moved upward out of the bore 82 at the position 86 and guided with the end 7 via a hose or channel 97 to the head 91 and from there into the magazine 29 promoted. If the core pin 6 points with the end 7 upwards, then this core pin leaves the bore 62 at the position 87 downwards and is also guided with the end 7 via the hose or channel 98 to the head 91 and from there into the magazine 29 promoted. The core pins 6 are again conveyed into the magazine 29 with blowing or conveying air. The vibrator 90 is designed as a rotary vibrator in such a way that it generates a conveying movement which supports the moving of the core pins into the supply channel 56 of the magazine 29 in accordance with the arrow E in FIG. 11.

The invention has been described above using an exemplary embodiment. It goes without saying that numerous changes and modifications are possible without departing from the inventive idea on which the invention is based. So it is fundamentally possible that the equipping of the cylinder cores 1 is not, as described above, according to a predetermined work schedule, but the device itself from the multitude of available core pins 6 selects the appropriate type. When mounting of the cylinder core 1 is then printed together with the respectively equipped cylinder core 1, a working or loading plan.
