Abstract
Terminal pins, mounted on bandoliers, for treatment and other purposes, are removed rapidly from the bandolier, without bending or changing the end-to-end orientation. The bandolier is pulled at speed through a tool having a slot for the bandolier, a rib extending into the slot and having a chamfered leading or front edge. The chamfered end enters a clearance between pin and bandolier, the pin being forced away from the bandolier while the bandolier is held down by the rib. The pins are removed at high speed and hit an inclined surface extending over the chamfered end to be deflected sideways through a passage. The pins exit from the passage and can be fed to an assembly machine, loading apparatus or storage containers. Air may be blown through the passage to assist in removing the pins.
