Abstract
A device for positioning tentering frames into association with a workpiece which is being assembled along a transfer line which has a working station includes a movable guiding section which extends substantially perpendicular to the transfer line at the working station on each side of the transfer line at the working station on each side of the transfer line. The movable guiding section includes a sliding platform which is movable therealong on each side of the transfer line and which has a portion facing the assembly line with means for engaging respective tentering frames. At least two guide members or guidings are arranged on each side of the transfer line and in spaced relationship to each other so that they extend substantially parallel to the transfer line. Each guiding carries at least three tentering frames which are movable therealong into association with the platforms. The platforms are movable between working positions close to the transfer line and to a withdrawn position remote from the transfer line.
