Abstract
A position regulating parts feeder has a rotary hopper (11) and a slanted chute (20) fixed in the hopper that has lift plates (12) secured to its inner periphery. The chute is composed of an upstream receiving section (21), a middle sorting section (22) and a downstream discharging section (23). A groove (51) formed in the upstream section has an open top and is of a depth enough to wholly embrace each of the parts (1) lying on its side such that its front and rear faces are oriented sideways. The side walls have upper oblique zones (31c) and (41c) to widen the groove towards its top. A path defined in the middle section and continuing from the groove is composed of a main passageway (53) extending to the downstream section for transfer of the regularly positioned parts, and an auxiliary passageway (54) branching off from the main one for transfer of the inverse parts to an outlet (35) formed in a bottom of the chute.
