  • Patent number: 5191960
    Abstract: Presented is an automated fastener feed system for feeding fastener elements such as threaded studs and nuts to a utilization device such as a press. The system includes a vibratory bowl into which the fastener devices are placed in an unoriented mass, and from which the fastener devices are fed into an orientation module that orients the fastener devices into the proper orientation to be delivered to the utilization device. Between the utilization device and the orientation module is a singulator module that receives the fastener devices, properly oriented, from the orientation device, and propels the fastener devices, either singly under manual operation, or continually under automatic operation, to the utilization device. A combination of pneumatic and electrical controls are utilized to control operation of the system.
