Definitions

  • the object of the invention is to provide apparatus for simultaneously filling each bore or recess with an elongated conductor in a large number of objects.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is characterized by a vibrating container having a number of storage chambers each of which contain an upright bundle of elongated conductors, said chambers having one channel or a group of channels through each of which a conductor can leave the associated bundle and arrive in an opening of an object located in a holder mounted below the chambers and which is movable in a reciprocating manner with respect to the said chambers.
  • the holder in one of its positions forming a depth limit for the conductors located in the opening and the holder so that the rear ends of those conductors cannot leave the channels until the remaining bundles in their chambers are localized. Then the holder with the inserted conductor is moved with respect to the chambers.
  • the remaining conductors of a bundle may be localized in their associated chambers by clamping means. However, according to the nature of the articles or conductors this might give rise to damage. In such cases use may be made of a further construction according to the invention in which the position of the object holder in which it forms a depth limit for the articles passing into the holder is chosen so that the ends of the articles do not extend the full length of the relative channels.
  • the container having a startified construction for localising the remaining bundles, wherein the container comprises a sliding part resulting in the remaining bundles being given a prescribed oblique angular position.
  • the chambers in the vibrating container are defined by two parts, one part consisting of an apertured lower plate, the other part of the chamber being located in another apertured plate movable above the said lower plate as an egg timer.
  • FIG. 1 diagrammatically shows a cross-sectional view of the device according to the invention in which bundles of elongated articles are upright.
  • FIG. 2 shows, on an enlarged scale, part of the device of FIG. 1 in which, however, the bundles of elongated articles assume an oblique position.
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of part of a holder to be used during the manufacture of transistor component parts and
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of part of the holder shown in FIG. 3.
  • the device shown in FIGSpl and 2 comprises a base plate 1 with columns 3 for for guiding a stand 5 and a plate 7. Supports 9 are mounted on the base plate; between the stand 5 and the support 9 pressure springs 11 are provided. Magnets 13 are provided outside the supports 9. By the intermitten energisation of these magnets, the stand 5 may be vibrated.
  • Angles 15 are connected to the plate 7 between which a holder consisting of the plates 17 and 19 can be inserted.
  • this holder is a composite mould manufactured from graphite to be used in the manufacture of transistor component parts.
  • These components comprise a metal disc 21 (FIGS. 3 and 4) in which one or several insulating members 23 are provided. Circular recesses 24 are provided in these members 23 in which a wireshaped current conductor 25 is located. With this mould of graphite such component parts are assembled. First the discs 21 and then the members 23 are provided. Finally the conductors 25 must be threaded through the members 23. Then by a suitable thermal treatment, the member 23 is united both with the associated disc 21 and with the conductor 25.
  • the device according to FIGS. 1 and 2 serves for the simultaneous introduction of conductors 25 into the recesses 24. Beforehand, the mould was already provided with discs 21 and members 23.
  • the pattern of the channels 39 corresponds to that of the apertures 24 in the members 23 in the holders 17, 19.
  • two channels 39 are available per chamber each having diameter somewhat larger than the diameter of a current conductor of the bundle 47.
  • the .plate 7 can be moved up and down between two extreme positions by any suitable means (not shown).
  • the upper position is determined by an abutment member 49 mounted on the support 9.
  • Pressure springs 51 normally hold the plate 7 in a lower position remote from the stand 5. Upward movement of the holder 7 takes place through a system of levers not shown.
  • the holder (17, 19) which beforehand is provided with discs 21 and members 23, is arranged between the angles 15 of the plate 7.
  • the bundles of conductors assume the inclined position shown in FIG. 2.
  • the plate 7 is then moved upwards against the action of the springs 51; in its top position the plate 7 engages the abutment member 49.
  • the plate 35 is moved towards the position shown in FIG. 1 and the magnets 13 are energized.
  • the stand 5 will start vibrating.
  • a group of two conductors 25 from each bundle of conductors will pass into the channels 39 and, guided by the funnel-shaped apertures 37, vibrate exactly into the recesses 24 of the members 23.
  • the height of the abutment member 49 is chosen so that the upper end of conductors 25 vibrated into the member 23 in this manner have not left the channels 39 (FIG. 2). Then the magnets 13 are switched OE and the plate 35 is moved again so that the bundle of conductors is again given an oblique angular position. Then the plate 7 with the graphite mould is moved downward so that the conductors vibrated into this mould entirely leave the channels 39. Finally the mould 17, 19 is removed from the holder 7.
  • the thickness of the plate 31 is chosen so that in the angular position of the bundle of conductors obtained by skewing the plate 35 and when channels 39 are empty no conductors can leave their bundles and pass through channels 39.
  • Apparatus for inserting one or more elongated conductors into an apertured component comprising a frame member including a movable holder for supporting at least one said component, said frame member having columns for movably guiding a stand means in spaced aligned relation with said holder, a mechanism for vibrating said stand means; said stand means comprising a series of plates having cooperable and coaxial apertures aligned with said component aperture, one of said plates being adjacent said holder and having at least one funnel-shaped aperture therethrough, a second plate of said series of plates having at least one cylindrical aperture therethrough, a third plate of said series of plates having at least one aperture having a widening bore converging toward the cylindrical apertures of said second plate, and a fourth plate juxtaposed relative to said third plate having at least one egg-timer-shaped bore, said egg-timershaped bore and said widening bore defining a storage chamber adapted to contain a plurality of said conductors which are substantially coaxial with said apertures in the aligned position of the
  • Apparatus according to claim 1 with the addition of movable stop means for adjusting the spaced relation between said holder and said first plate of the stand means whereby conductors inserted in the aperture of said component remains in both said funnel-shaped and cylindricalshaped apertures during vibration of said stand means.
  • Apparatus for inserting one or more elongated rods into an aperture comprising a frame member, a holder means having an aperture for receiving a rod, means for securing said holder on said frame member, a stand means movably secured on said frame member in spaced, generally aligned relation with said holder, and means for vibrating said stand means; said stand means comprising a plurality of stacked plates having normally aligned apertures therethrough, at least two of said plates being juxtaposed and slideable relative to one another for misaligning the apertures of said two plates, one of said two plates having an egg-timer-shaped aperture therein, the other of said two plates having its aperture widening toward said egg-timer-shaped aperture whereby a storage chamber is defined by the apertures of said two plates for a plurality of rods introduced through said egg-timer aperture into said widening aperture, said plurality of rods being inclined relative to said two plates in the misaligned position of said two plates and in the aligned position of said plate, said
