Zusammenfassung:An apparatus (10) for presenting a curved workpiece to a workstation, includes a frame member (11) and a guide channel (46) associated with the frame member for receiving a curved workpiece in a generally upright position. A first pusher mechanism (14) is reciprocally movable in a transverse direction relative to the guide channel for engaging and positioning the workpiece against a bearing surface (50) of the guide channel. A second pusher mechanism (24) is advanceable within the guide channel to engage the workpiece and to advance the workpiece to the workstation (40). The apparatus has particular application in the manufacture of curved surgical needles.
