Abstract: A machine for the attachment of buttons, rivets or the like on clothing pieces, the lower parts of which are fed via rails from a magazine laterally oriented up to the vicinity of the attachment position and from there are transferred into the attachment position. The rail which feeds the bottom parts in the edgewise position exits at an angle which is offset by about 90 degrees relative to the attachment position. Between the exit position and the attachment position there extends a circular arc-shaped slide surface starting tangentially from the exit area and running approximately tangentially into the attachment position. A rotatable ring section runs on the slide surface. The ring section, which is equipped on its front end with a reception pocket, transfers respectively one lower part into the attachment position and during its movement its ring-narrow-edge closes the exit of the feed rail.

Abstract: A machine for the attachment of rivets, buttons, or the like, particularly to clothing pieces, with an upper tool and a lower tool and with magazine chambers for upper and lower parts, from which chambers the upper and lower parts, respectively, are brought via feed rails into the region of the working position. The magazine chambers are arranged floor-like one above the other. A single slide is coordinated to both chambers, the slide being moved up and down in front of the rear wall of the chambers. On its front wide face the slide is equipped with stroke and sorting ledges which are inclined downwardly in the direction of one of the side walls. In the upper position the ledges lie flush in alignment with the discharge openings of the magazine chambers - side walls.
