Abstract:
A METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING AND POSITIONING THE NOSE PADS FOR AN EYEGLASS FRAME AT THE PROPER ANGLE FOR SECUREMENT, SUBSEQUENTLY ROTATING THE SAME ALONG THE AXIS FOR CENTERING THE V-NOTCH NOSE PORTION OF THE EYEGLASS FRAME, AND THEN MOVING THE EYEGLASS FRAME INTO POSITION FOR GLUING BY MOVING THE EYEGLASS FRAME TO ENGAGE THE NOSE PADS. THE APARATUS CONTEMPLATES A RECIPROCATING SLIDING CLAMP ASSEMBLY WITH ROTATABLE PAIRS OF JAWS FOR HOLDING THE NOSE PADS ORIENTED FOR ROTATION ON AN AXIS PERPENDICULAR TO THAT OF RECIPROCATION OF THE ASSEMBLY. THE JAWS ARE ACTUATED BY A CENTERING DEVICE WHEN MOVED INTO ENGAGED RELATIONSHIP THEREWITH, THE CENTERING DEVICE POSITIONING THE JAWS AND THEIR NOSE PADS IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE EYEGLASS FRAMES, THE FRAMES THEN BEING MOVED UPWARDLY INTO CONTACT WITH THE NOSE PADS AND THEREAFTER THE NOSE PADS ARE SECURED BY GLUING OR OTHER MEANS TO THE EYEGLASS FRAME.
Abstract:
A linear vibratory feeder is disclosed in which an action mass is positioned above a reaction mass, both of which are secured to a base by means of leaf type springs. Side plates are secured to the upper or action mass to which the coil is attached. The armature is secured to the underneath portion of the reaction mass, and the coil also mounted beneath the reaction mass to render the centers of gravity of the action and reaction masses substantially coincidental. Means are provided to adjust the gap between the armature and coil, and the action mass center of gravity is ideally located slightly below the center of gravity of the reaction mass to accommodate a track which is mounted atop the action mass.
