Abstract
A machine for inserting socket contacts into holes in electrical panel boards or printed circuit boards. A vibratory feeder is coupled through an escapement by means of a flexible tube to a hand held insertion tool. A timing mechanism operates the escapement at a predetermined rate to individually feed socket contacts to the tool, where they are dispensed into the holes in a panel board. Operation of the timing mechanism can be controlled by a foot switch. The method for insertion is also disclosed.
