Terminal inserting apparatus
Abstract
Abstract APPARATUS FOR INSERTING TERMINALS INTO PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS COMPRISES A RECIPROCABLE RAM WHICH ACTUATES A SHEAR BLOCK FOR SHEARING THE LEADING TERMINAL FROM A STRIP OF TERMINALS AND WHICH ALSO ACTUATES A PUNCH FOR INSERTING THE SHEARED TERMINAL INTO A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD. THE PROBLEM OF TRANSFERRING THE SHEARED TERMINAL TO THE PUNCHING STATION IS SOLVED BY USING A U-SHAPED MEMBER HAVING TWO SPACED ARMA EXTENDING FROM AN INTERMEDIATE STRAIGHT PORTION. THE SHEAR BLOCK IS SLIDABLE ON THE STRAIGHT PORTION AND A COMPRESSION SPRING ACTING BETWEEN ONE OF THE ARMS AND THE SHEAR BLOCK BIASES THE OTHER ARM TOWARDS THE SHEAR BLOCK TO URGE THE LEADING TERMINAL AGAINST THE SHEAR BLOCK WHICH CONTINUES IN THE SHEAR DIRECTION UNTIL THE SHEARED TERMINAL IS ALIGNED WITH THE PUNCH.
