DEVICE FOR ORIENTING PARTS Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has trough 2 of rectangular cross-section. The trough is directed along the axis of symmetry and diverging so as their side walls are parallel to each other. Two other walls 5 and 6 are inclined to the axis of the trough. Nozzles 14 and 15 supply compressed air. Part receiver 17 is mounted at the trough outlet. Wedge-shaped insert 9 that forms two transporting troughs 10 and 11 together with the side walls is mounted in the diverging part of the trough. Slot nozzles 14 and 15 are provided at the outlets of the troughs, inclined to the longitudinal axes of the transporting troughs, and connected with chamber 12 for supplying compressed air.
