SEGMENT DELIVERY DEVICE, ACCEPTANCE DEVICE AND DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: To deliver and accept a feed segment at a high speed without changing them basic structure of an erector device by mechanizing the transfer of the segment to the erector device and the positioning and retention thereof. ;CONSTITUTION: In a segment delivery device 3, feed segments 1 and so forth are carried on an installation board 31 to an erector device 2 via the operation of activation means 33 and 33, and the edges thereof at a pit mouth are pushed with a stopper mean 32, thereby positioning the segments 1. Furthermore, in a segment acceptance device 2, the segments 1 are positioned by keeping the face side edges thereof in contact with a stopper means 22. In addition, the hanger of the segments 1 is held with a retention means and, then, the segments 1 are constrained with another stopper means 23, thereby being prevented from a vibration due to yawing, pitching or the like. A delivery and acceptance device can be provided by suitably combining the function of the devices 3 and 2.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1995,JPO
