Abstract (en)

A feed device for headed fasteners, e.g. tacks, nails and the like, comprises a plurality of raceways (406), a separator device (408) comprising a separator bar arrangement movable transversely of the outlet ends of the raceways (406), and a collector arrangement (422) disposed beneath the separator device (408) and having a plurality of openings for receiving transferred fasteners. For facilitating variation of the number of fasteners to be separated and fed, the bar arrangement comprises two cooperating but independently operated slide bars (410,412) for picking off leading fasteners from outlet ends of the raceways (406) and supplying the thus picked off fasteners to apertures (420) for onward supply to a desired location, e.g. tacker units (300) of a heel seat and side lasting machine for use in the manufacture of shoes. By reason of the independent operation of the slide bars (410,412), the number of fasteners supplied can thus be varied. If desired, the control of the operation of the slide bars can be by electronic control means. <IMAGE>
