Abstract
Abstract @ The electron components (C) are applied through their appendices (R) sideways to a punched tape (N) or the like. The apparatus includes: an equipment or carrier (7, 70, 5) intended to be moved angularly step-by-step, with a pin wheel (5) able to engage the punched tape (N) in order to bring a component (C) to a withdrawal position (CT) upon each step; a kinematic chain for driving said carrier, comprising a ratchet (68), articulated members and sliding members and a driving member operated by the withdrawal tool (44) upon its movement to the withdrawal position; and a cutter (22), capable of shearing the appendices (R) of the component (C) being in the withdrawal position (CT), just before the withdrawal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
An apparatus for feeding and. withdrawing electronic components or other, which are applied through their appendices (R) sideways to a punched tape or the like, characterized in that it comprises: a carrier (7, 70, 5) intended to be moved angularly step-by-step, with a pin wheel (5) able to engage the punched tape in order to carry, upon each step, a component (C) to the withdrawing position (CT); a kinematic chain for driving said carrier, including a ratchet (68), articulated members and sliding members and a driving member operated by the withdrawal tool ! (44) upon its displacement towards the withdrawal position; and a cutter (22), capable of shearing the appendices (R) of the component (C) in the withdrawal position (CT) just before the withdrawal.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
124 words
An apparatus for feeding and. withdrawing electronic components or other, which are applied through their appendices (R) sideways to a punched tape or the like, characterized in that it comprises: a carrier (7, 70, 5) intended to be moved angularly step-by-step, with a pin wheel (5) able to engage the punched tape in order to carry, upon each step, a component (C) to the withdrawing position (CT); a kinematic chain for driving said carrier, including a ratchet (68), articulated members and sliding members and a driving member operated by the withdrawal tool ! (44) upon its displacement towards the withdrawal position; and a cutter (22), capable of shearing the appendices (R) of the component (C) in the withdrawal position (CT) just before the withdrawal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
Apparatus according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the cutter (22) is driven by its own driving cylinder-piston system (34, 36) and cooperates with a discoid countercutter (12) carried by said carrier.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
Apparatus according to the preceding claims, for components (C) each having two appendices (R) to be sheared, characterized in that the cutter (22) has in its active profile two sharp-edged centering notches.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
Apparatus according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the pin wheel (5) can be adjusted in axial position on the angularly step-by-step advancing carrier for the adjustment of the point where the appendices are to be sheared; said adjustment being possibly operated-by pulling screws and pushing screws.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
Apparatus according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the kinematic chain for the ratchet operation cooperates with an adjustable stop . (66), and comprises two members (42, 52) elastically coupled between them (54) and allowing extra runs to be performed by the kinematic chain which is up-stream of said two members.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
60 words
Apparatus according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the withdrawal tool (44) is a clamp having two jaws (80) tightened by springs (94) up to adjustable stops, and apt to be opened apart by a wedge member (92) which is also intended to push the components with their appendices into mounting holes of a printed circuit card or other.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
7 . Apparatus for feeding and withdrawing electronic radial components and for other uses; all as above described and represented for exemplification in the attached drawing.
