Printed board feeding device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To reliably feed printed board, in order from the printed board in a lowermost position, by a method wherein a pair of holding means, by means of which the lowermost printed board but one is releasably held and is dropped to a lowermost position, is situated right above a pair of locking means by means of which the lowermost printed board is engaged and disengaged. CONSTITUTION:First, locking plates 6 are caused to enter in a direction different from each other, a holding plate 7 is moved backward, and printed board 1 are piled up in quantities on the locking plates 6 between width determining plates 5. Secondly, the holding plates 7 are caused to enter in a direction different from each other in a condition that the locking plates 6 are left entering, and the side end surfaces of a lowermost printed board but one 1d are pressed between the nip formed by the holding plates 7. With this state, the locking plates 6 are moved backward in a direction different from each other, and only a printed board 1c in a lowermost position is dropped for feed onto conveyance rails 8. Thereafter, the locking plates 6 are caused to enter again, the holding plates 7 are moved backward, the printed board 1d is dropped to a lowermost position and is locked to the locking plates 6.
