Definitions

  • My invention relates to devices for feeding coiled filaments such as are used in electric incandescent lamps and similar articles to a filament mounting machine or other device. More particularly my invention comprises a receptacle for a plurality of such filaments and a conveyor in whichthe filaments are received and transported one by one to a suitable discharge point.
  • the said conveyor is a rotating disc which extends through a slot in the receptacle and has on 'its periphery a series .of pockets each adapted to receive a separate coiled filament as the rotation of the said disc brings that particular pocket into registry withthe said slot..
  • Each pocket is provided with one or more movable jaws and the arrangement is such that, as a pocket reaches loading position,
  • each jaw is opened to allow the pocket to 2 receive a coil and afterwards closed to retain said coil. Finally each jaw is opened as the pocket reaches discharge position.
  • Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 is a plan viewof an embodiment of my invention; Figs. 3 and 4 are end and side elevations on an enlarged scale of a portion of the device.
  • the coiled filaments 7 are piled up so that they are straight or approximately so.
  • Pockets 8 are provided in the peripheral surface of the rotating disc 3 at uniform disonly one coiled filament can deposit itself in each pocket at a time.
  • a pair of gripping devices com- (not shown) hasa nar-.
  • the plier jaws 9 and 10 are pulled back from the pockets 8 as the rollers 12 again run on the higher peripheral part 8 of the notched disc 14.
  • the top ends of the plier jaws then release the coiled filament whichhas already moved past the horizontal position so that it can fall on a slide 15. The latter guides the coiled filament to the place where it is to be used.
  • a pusher plate 16 is provided to advantage in trou h 5, as shown, which is subjected to the action of a spring 17, and constantly pushes the whole pile of filaments downwards and keeps them in contact with the periphery of the rotating disc 3. This ensures that a coiled filament will be pressed into each pocket as it enters the-trough.
  • slip springs or brushes 18 provided at the exit of'the slot 4 in the trough, 1111- gripped coiled filaments which are taken along by the peripheral surface of the disc 3 on account of friction are preventedfrom leaving the trough 5. .
  • the pile of filaments 7 In order to ensure africtionless passage of the disc 3 through the trough and the pile of filaments 7, the
  • plier jaws 9 and 10 are mounted to advantage in recesses 19 in the disc 3 as shown.
  • a filament feeding device the combination of a receptacle having a slot in thd bottom thereof, a rotatable disc mounted so that its peripheral edge is adjacent the said slot and having one or more pockets in said edge, one or'more gripping devices pivoted on the side of said disc and each shaped andv disposedso that one end portion thereof en-' gages the top portion of a filament located.
  • a filament feeding device the combination of a receptacle having a slot in the bottom thereof, a rotatable disc mounted so that its peripheral edge is adjacent the said I slot and having one or more pockets in said edge, one or more pairs of gripping devices pivoted one on each side of said discand each device shaped and disposed so that one end portion thereof engages the top portion of a filament located in one of said pockets, means for rotating said disc, and a cam engaging the other end of said gripping device and shaped to open and close said device against said filament as the said disc rotates.
