At this time, the lockin~ pa~ls 16 ~ill also rise substantial-ly without such resistance to the tag-pin. However, when the fitting o~ one tag-pin ends and the piston 10 retreats as mentioned above, the feeding members 17 will fall, the lock-ing pawls 16 will fall as engaged with the -.ransverse bar, and therefore the lowermost txans~erse bar will ~e supported on the sUpporting base 23 50 as to be ready for the next fitting.
Thus, thereafter, the repeated operations of Figs.
6C and 6D will be made ~ee ~ig. 6E) and the tag-pins will be fitted to the articles inturn. However, as the locking pawls 16 are flexible, a~ sho~n in Fig. 7, when not required, the ta~-pin assembly can be simply pulled off with fingers in the direction indicated by the arrow to be arranged and stored.
Further, if the pressing pieces 18 of the part 14 are present in the feeding groove 13, as shown in Fig. 8, the transverse bars of the tag-pin assembly will be able to be positively held in a line and the work will be able to be carried out efficiently and pleasantly without any ~is-operation in fit-ting the ta~-pin.
~ S descrihed ~bove, the present invention has such ~any pr~ctically advantageous effects~ that, even if the ta~-pin asse~ S ~x~e~ula~ in the pitch o~ ~ore or less differ-ent in the connectinq system, the ta~pin~s will be able to beaccurat~ly~ ~itt~d one ~y~ one, the ta~pin ~ssembly will be able to be easily inserted into or removed out of the feeding :3~ 2~a groove, the grooved needle in$ertin~ length ~ill be ~ble to ~e ad~usted in xesponse to the thickness of the article and the s~fet~ measures for the ~uide needle when not used need not ~e considered.
