RIVET FEED SLIDER

A rivet feed slider (10) configured to sequentially receive rivets from a rivet delivery path and feed the rivets to a rivet transport tube (12) using an air supply. The rivet feed slider (10) includes a rivet receiving chamber (30) which is configured to sequentially receive the rivets, and an aperture (46) is in communication with the rivet receiving chamber (30). The aperture (46) allows air to flow from the air supply through the rivet receiving chamber (30) to the rivet transport tube (12) such that a rivet which is disposed in the rivet receiving chamber (30) is moved into the rivet transport tube (12). The rivet feed slide (10) also includes additional apertures (50) which allow air to flow from the air supply to the rivet transport tube (12) when the rivet receiving chamber (30) is not aligned with the air supply. Hence, the air flow the air supply to the rivet transport tube (12) is not substantially disrupted.

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'alimentation en rivets par curseur conçu pour recevoir de manière séquentielle des rivets provenant d'une voie d'alimentation en rivets et pour alimenter un tube de transport de rivets par alimentation pneumatique. Ce dispositif d'alimentation en rivets par curseur comprend une chambre de réception de rivets qui est conçue pour recevoir de manière séquentielle les rivets, et une ouverture qui communique avec la chambre de réception de rivets. L'ouverture permet à l'air de traverser la chambre de réception de rivets depuis l'alimentation pneumatique jusqu'au tube de transport de rivets, de sorte qu'un rivet qui est placé dans la chambre de réception soit déplacé dans
