    Abstract: A queue of randomly oriented chips (3) is advanced down a track (4). Each chip in the queue is sequentially and individually elevated into a pneumatic circuit and pressed against a mirrored surface (7) of an upper slide member to which it adheres if the chip was oriented with upwardly disposed solder lands. A jet of compressible fluid insufficient in magnitude to dislodge the chip is injected in a direction toward the queue. If the chip, alternatively, was oriented with the solder lands down, this fluid jet propels the chip about the oval-shaped pneumatic circuit so as to reorient the chip with the lands extending in the desired upward orientation, whereupon the chip is injected into a storage magazine. If the chip was adhered to the mirrored surface, after the first fluid jet, a second fluid jet is introduced to dislodge the correctly oriented chip from the mirrored surface, whereupon a third fluid jet oriented in a direction opposite to that of the first jet and in the direction of the advancing queue, propels the correctly oriented chip along a passageway to the storage magazine. This passageway joins with the oval-shaped inverting passageway which was employed to reorient or flip incorrectly disposedchips as they traversed the reorienting oval.

    Abstract: A queing means transfers surface mount components (17) randomly stored in a detachable hopper (12) into a plurality of parallel lines (16) formed by grooves in a track plate (20). Vibrator means (24) translate the components along the grooves in the downwardly extending track plate toward a shuttle assembly (32). With respect to pairs of such track grooves, the shuttle assembly alternately transports a chip from each groove comprising the pair into a plunger assembly (46). A tube magazine (14) carrying a plurality of carrier tubes (13) to be loaded with components is releasably disposed adjacent the plunger assembly whereby periodic downward movement of plungers simultaneously forces a component from each line of components in the plunger assembly formed by the shuttle mechanism into a respective one of the tubes, and the process is repeated until the tubes are filled with components as desired. Pneumatic means are provided for urging the components backwards from the plunger assembly along the grooves toward and into the hopper. The apparatus is thereby purged in preparation for substitution of a next hopper containing different components and a set of tubes carried by a next tube magazine replacing the one carrying the thus-filled tubes.

    Abstract: A daisy wheel printer carrier for print element and ribbon cartridges. The carrier is made up of a frame having a vertically oriented print element cartridge receptacle adjacent one end and support means for carrying a pivotable ribbon cartridge adjacent the other end. The frame is structured to be mounted on adjustable eccentric rails for slidable translation toward and away from a printer platen, and for orientation relative to the platen upon adjustment of the rails.

    Abstract: Apparatus for facilitating printer paper feeding. The apparatus is made up of a yoke and a platen channel carrying a paper aligner and feed rollers. The yoke has downwardly extending legs with a detent therebetween. The apparatus is rotatably positionable on a rod mounted parallel to the platen, and the detent is for accepting the rod. The downwardly extending legs are for cooperating with a tooth of a rotatable comb for causing rotation of the apparatus on the rod. The channel serves as a paper deflector and guide for guiding paper about the platen. Within the channel are openings through which front and rear feed rollers carried by the channel extend. Also within the channel is an aligner opening for accepting the paper aligner which is positionable within the aligner opening. The paper aligner has a downwardly extending leg for cooperating with another tooth on the comb to position the aligner within the aligner opening. Due to the structure of the apparatus, a member thereof can be utilized and positioned on the rod to accommodate any length platen.

    Abstract: A daisy wheel printer print element adapted to be housed and oriented in a cartridge during printing and storage. The element has a hammer impact side and a printing side and is made up of a circular central hub, petals connected to the hub and extending radially therefrom, and types carried on the outer extremities of the petals on the printing side of the element. The central hub is dish shaped with its protruding side on the impact side of the element. Carried on the protruding side of the central hub is an orientation protrusion having a stabilizing surface engulfing the axis of rotation of the element. The orientation protrusion is for cooperating with a matching opening in the cartridge. The stabilizing surface is for cooperating with a mating face on a selection motor drive hub. Within the orientation protrusion is a depression also engulfing the axis of rotation of the element. Located within the depression and radially displaced from the axis of rotation of the element is a drive opening. The drive opening is for accepting a drive pin carried by the drive hub. On the printing side of the element and centered within the dished side of the central hub is a bearing protrusion for acting against a bearing surface provided in the cartridge.
