Abstract: An assembly device for assembling a member having plural and spaced end segments thereon to a workpiece having plural and spaced sets of end segment receiving openings thereon, the spacing between the end segment receiving openings in each set corresponding to the spacing of the end segments from each other. The assembly device includes a frame on which is mounted a transport device for transporting the member from a supply thereof to a workpiece mounted on a workpiece holder. The member is oriented so that the end segments thereon are vertically aligned with the end segment receiving openings on the workpiece to facilitate an insertion of the end segments into the end segment receiving openings upon a movement of the transport structure into a working zone. Thereafter, the member is released by the transport mechanism to enable the transport mechanism to return back to its initial position thereof to await the receipt of a new member therein.
