JPS56145023A - Article transfer device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To eliminate a jammed state of articles in a transfer device and prevent the rate of operation from lowering in its reception side device, by contacting an engagement feed rotary disc from above to the article of semiconductor element or the like fed out of a feed side device and assisting slide falling transfer operation of the article along a lower guide track.

CONSTITUTION: An upper guide track 10 is mounted to a supporting member, not shown in the drawing, parallelly arranged with a gap S₁ apart from a lower guide track 2 and provided with a slotted groove 10a from its point end side, then an engagement feed disc 11, for instance, made of rubber rotating in a direction of arrow mark A is provided in such a manner that its lower side enters into said groove 10a. The disc 11 is arranged in such a position that its outer circumferential lower face is contacted at a point B to an upper surface 1b of an element 1 fed out of a containing cylinder 4 and provided with a slight amount of gap apart from an end point C of an end part in an upper side of the containing cylinder 4. In this way, if the element 1 is given a slide falling transfer motion into the lower and upper guide tracks 2, 10 from the containing cylinder 4, floating movement of the element 1 in its point end side can be corrected by the disc 11, thus the element 1 can be transferred in a uniform attitude along the track 2.
