Abstract A guide height adjuster comprises a block consisting of a plurality of steps of different heights integrally joined together and having a slot formed to allow the passage of a screw across all the steps, a guide holder having a through hole for the insertion of the screw, and a guide to formed as to cover substantially a channel through which components being handled pass, the guide being secured to, and supported by, the guide holder. The guide holder rests on one of the steps and is fastened to the block by the screw so that the guide can be held above the channel. The height of the guide above the channel can be changed by loosening the screw and moving the block with respect to the screw, thereby shifting the guide holder to another block step of a desired height.
A guide height adjuster comprising a block consisting of a plurality of steps of different heights integrally joined together and having a slot formed to allow the passage of a screw across all said steps, a guide holder having a through hole for the insertion of said screw, and a guide so formed as to cover substantially a channel through which successive ones of components to be handled pass and to define the height of said components, said guide being secured to, and supported by, said guide holder, said guide holder resting on one of said steps and fastened to said block by said screw so that said guide can be held above said channel, the height of said guide above said channel being changeable by loosening said screw and moving said block with respect to said screw, thereby shifting said guide holder to another block step of a desired height.
