Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0224875A2] A button feeder for a button applicator has a feed guide (20) for orienting a button (B) in a predetermined direction. The feed guide (20) includes a stationary first side guide part (26) having first and second vertical guide walls (25), (53), and a second side guide part (24) composed of a movable first member (40) having a wedge-shaped groove (23) facing the first vertical guide wall (25), and a stationary second member (42) having a third vertical guide wall (4l) facing the second vertical guide wall (53). The first member (40) is normally urged by a spring (46) to pivot toward the first side guide part (26). As the button (B) is fed through the feed guide (20), a circular head (l2) of the button (B) tends to be caught in the wedge-shaped groove (23). The first member (40) is then pivotally moved away from the first side guide part (26) against the bias of the spring (46) to allow the button (B) smoothly moved without undue frictional resistance.
