Abstract
Abstract An axial lead component dispensing apparatus which has the capacity to handle components having extremely long axial leads in relation to the longitudinal dimensions of the body of the component. The device incorporates a pair of notched feeder blades which are reciprocal to advance rolls of taped components. The feeder blades and accompanying components are transversely adjustable along a feed shaft from which the feeder blade gets its reciprocal motion and which also powers a cutter shaft to sever the leads below the feeder portion of the apparatus.
