The fly wheel and the ignition coil are set on the set jig with a comparatively large space left therebetween so that the two do not adhere to each other during the placement thereof. After the fly wheel and the ignition coil are placed on the set jig and are delivered to the two holding means of the assembling jig, a large space is maintained between the fly wheel and the ignition coil so that when the fly wheel is turned to be aligned, there is no magnetic force acting between the fly wheel and the ignition coil. Thus, the fly wheel can be easily assembled to the crankshaft. Thereafter, the ignition coil is brought to approach the fly wheel and is assembled to the engine main body where it is located at its normal facing position in relation to the fly wheel.

Process for assembling a fly wheel and an ignition coil to an engine

An automatic assembling apparatus is provided for assembling in sequence at least a first component and a second component to an article at an assembling station. The assembling apparatus comprises a first assembling jig for the first assembling component and a second assembling jig for the second component. An annular rail has the first and second assembling jigs mounted thereon such that they are circumferentially movable on the annular rail. The annular rail has a movable rail portion positioned opposite the assembling station which is movable to advance toward and retract from the assembling station. At least one supplying station is positioned with respect to the circumference of the annular rail for supplying components to the assembling jigs at the supplying station. Each of the assembling jigs and a corresponding component are positioned in sequence on the movable rail portion such that the advance movement of the movable rail portion moves the assembling jigs to an assembling position at the assembling station for sequentially carrying out the assembly of each component to the article.
