Abstract: A transferring mechanism is arranged to transfer parts from one place to another. The mechanism includes a cam lever which is rotated by a cam. A follower lever is rotatable and has a transfer member (e.g., a chuck) mounted at its free end. A connecting structure has a first connection with the cam lever and a second connection with the follower lever in order to transmit rotary motion from the former to the latter. The first and second connectors are slidable along the cam and follower levers, respectively, in order to change the length of the stroke of the transfer member. A displacement mechanism is connected to the connecting structure for moving the latter and its first and second connections. The displacement mechanism is mounted independently of the cam lever and follower cam.
