Abstract
A cord fastener assembling apparatus includes a first inclined chute for gravity delivery of a succession of female members to a first pocket and a second inclined chute for gravity delivery of a succession of male member to a second pocket which is aligned with the first pocket. An assembling block is reciprocally movable between an assembling position in which an assembling chamber is disposed between AND aligned with the first and second pockets and a discharging position remote from the assembling position. First and second rod-like pushers are reciprocally movable, in timed relation to one another, to force the female member and the male member, respectively, form the first and second pockets into the assembling chamber of the assembling clock. Within the assembling chamber, the female member and the male member are forcibly coupled together into an assembled cord fastener.
