In a lead frame conveying device for bringing lead frames into a storage magazine, a pusher claw is swingably mounted to a claw mover. When a lead frame is brought into the magazine, the claw mover moves towards the magazine, and this releases an engagement of the pusher claw with a stopper; as a result, the pusher claw swings down (by its own weight) so that the tip end of the push claw comes into contact with the trailing edge of the lead frame so that the pusher claw pushes the lead frame completely into the magazine.

Pushing mechanism in a lead frame conveying apparatus

A workpiece heating and feeding device having a lid which is installed above a heating block which heats the workpieces, the lid having an opening formed in the central portion thereof wherein a transparent heat-resistant plate covers the opening in the lid. The lid may alternately be entirely made of a heat-resistant material. Since the heating block is covered, no dirt or dust can enter the interior of the device. In addition, since the lid has either a transparent plate or is itself made of a transparent heat-resistant material, working conditions can easily be monitored and adjustments to the feeding of the workpiece facilitated.
