A chip feeder for supplying a multiplicity of chip parts retained on a tape from a tape supply section to a parts takeout section of a chip mounter. The chip feeder comprises: a working lever having a first, second and third arm portions; a driving source for applying working force to the first arm portion; a tape feed device interlockingly connected to the second arm portion, for intermittently feeding the tape at a predetermined pitch; a protective tape peel-off device interlockingly connected...

The table of a vertical boring mill has a trough surrounding it; and a plurality of paddles are mounted on paddle carriers to be driven around said trough to sweep chips before them. The paddle carriers are secured to an endless circularly arranged chain driven by a sprocket; and the bottom of the trough has a slot or slots therein through which the paddles sweep the chips out of the trough.

A chip crusher composed of a rotating disc and at least one crushing roller mounted to form a nip with a working face of the disc adjacent the periphery of the disc. The chips pass through an inlet and engage the rotating disc which flings them towards the periphery of the disc thereby to spread chips into a substantially single thickness layer. Each chip moves with the disc into the nip between the roller and disc wherein the chip is crushed. The crusher fissures the chip to a degree substantia...

A centrifuge for continuously separating a lubricating liquid from lubrication-impregnated metal chips. A motor having a drive shaft thereon is mounted so that the drive shaft is drivingly coupled to a substantially bell-shaped centrifugal drum having an outwardly widening conical portion. The drum is formed with openings intermediate the top edge and bottom wall for discharge of the liquid therethrough. A metal chip and air inlet is provided adjacent the central portion of the outwardly opening...

An improved chip carrier of thin dieletric deformed into a dish configuration provided with flexible mounting flanges on which are plated or bonded solderable conductive traces and paths together with plated or bonded heat sinks which may be referenced to ground potential, and which provides structural integrity.

A chip washer comprising a tank holding washing fluid, a conveyor for supplying chips into the tank, a vane for setting the fluid and therewith the chips into motion in the tank, a conduit provided with valve for removal from the tank of the foreign substances separated from the chips and a washed chips removing conveyor, this latter consisting of a screw conveyor ascending obliquely upwardly from the tank with its lower end extending into the washing fluid and the mantle of which is constituted...

A chip feeder comprising a sprocket for feeding intermittently a tape, which contains a plurality of chips and is sealed with a protective tape, at predetermined pitch intervals to a chip takeout portion; a roller for peeling the protective tape sealing the chip from the the tape fed intermittently; and a vacuum suction nozzle for taking up a chip out of the tape from which the protective tape is peeled off, wherein the roller peels the protective tape immediately before the vacuum suction nozzl...

A conveyor apparatus has a pair of inclined, parallel, adjacent upwardly facing semicylindrical troughs, an elongated helical flight rotatably disposed in each trough, and a drive mechanism for effecting rotation of the helical flights. The lower ends of the troughs are received in a tank having spaced side walls and having spaced baffle walls between the side walls which are parallel to the side walls and extend above at least a portion of the top edge of each side wall. These top edge portions...

A chip dispenser, such as a bingo chip dispenser, comprises a supply tube for a stack of chips which is connected to a body having a chamber which houses a dispensing member. The chips are dispensed through a bore in the body of the dispenser. The dispensing member is a crescent-shaped member having two horns. The distance between the tip of one of the horns and an opposed side wall of the chamber is less than the diameter of a chip, so that the chip is prevented from being dispensed when the di...
