bottoms of tubular hoppers Ll() carried by the Vplate 12 and in which stacks of washers are provided.

It may be noted that the diameter of the hoppers 10, openings 33 and 31 and enlarged ends of the key-hole slots 19, is just slightly larger than the diameter of one of the wash- The operation of the device may be most conveniently followed out by a consideration of Figures 5 to 9 inclusive. In Figure 5 the plate 32 is retained in its normal position by the springs 34 andthe plate 18 has been shifted to the right by swinging the handle 26 inwardly toward the machine.` Thus the openings 33 in the plate 32 register with the openings 31 in the plate 13 and the reduced extensions 11b ofthe pegs 11 are located in the narrow ends of the key-hole slots 19 in the plate 13. The stacks of washers in the hoppers 10 rest upon the surface of the upper sliding plate 32. By grasping the handle 38 and sliding the plate 32 against the action of its springs until vsuch sliding movement is stopped by the pins 39 the openings 33 will be aligned with the bottoms of the hoppers 40 and a washer Vwill drop into each opening 33 and rest on the plate 13 as seen in Figure 6. It is to 'be understood that the plate 32 is of the same vthickness as the washers to be handled, so that when the handle 38 is released and the plate 32 restored to its normal position there will be no jamming of the washers. This position is shown in Figure 7 after which time the opening 33 has again aligned with the opening 31 and the washer has dropped through the opening 31 and encircles the upper end of the peg extension 11b. The same position is also illustrated in Figure 8, but

this latter figure is taken at right angles to disclose the key-hole slot 19, the narrow end of which is of less width than the washer so that thel washer cannot drop under the shoulder 11 of the peg. By swinging the handle 26 to shift the lower sliding plate 18 the enlarged ends of the key-hole slots are brought in the registration of the openings 31 and the washers30 drop through them and on to the pegs.

, Obviously various changes and alterations might be made in the general form and arrangement4 of the parts described without departing from` the invention and hence I do not wish to limit myself to the precise details set forth but shall consider myself at liberty to make all changes which fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the f appended claims.

I claim:

1. In a washer setting machine a. pair of superimposed stationary plates, a slide plate mounted betweenthem, said upper stationary plate having openings therein and open ended tubes adapted to receive a stack of washers communicating withsaid openings,

said lower stationary plate having openings therein offset from the openings in the upper plate, said slide plate having openings therein adapted to register alternately with the openings in the two stationary plates as the slide plate is shifted from one extreme position to the other, a second slide plate mounted under the lower stationary plate .and having key-hole slots therein the narrow ends of which normally register with the openings in the lower stationary plate.

2. In a washer setting machine a pair of superimposed stationary plates, a slide plate mounted between them, said upper stationary plate having openings therein and open ended tubes adapted to receive .a'stack of washers communicating with said openings, said lower stationary plate having openings therein offset from the openings in the upper plate, said slide plate having openings therein adapted to register alternately with the openings in the two stationary plates as the slide plate is shifted from one extreme position to the other, a second slide plate mounted under the lower stationary plate and having key-hole slots therein the narrow ends of which normally register with the openings in the lower stationary plate, and means for shifting'the lower sliding plate to register the larger endsof the keyhole slots with the openings in the lower stationary plate.

3. A machine as set forth in claim 2 and wherein a bed plate supports .a plurality of washer pegs, the upper ends'of which are received in the key-hole slots. n

4. In a washer setting machine a pair of superimposed stationary plates, a slide plate mounted between them, said upper stationary plate having openings therein and open ended tubes adapted to receive a stack of washers communicating with said openings, said lower stationary platehaving openings therein offset from the openings in the upper plate, said slide plate having openings therein adapted to register alternately' with the openings in the two stationary plates as the slide plate is shifted from one extreme position to the other, a second slide plate mounted under the'lower stationary plate and having key-hole slotsjtherein the narrow ends of which normally register with the openings in the lower stationary plate, said slide plates being movable on at right angles to each other.

5. In a washer setting machine a pair of superimposed stationary plates, a slide plate mounted between them, said upper station- -ary plate having openings therein and open .endedY tubesadapted to receive a stack of washers communicating with said openings,

-said lower stationary plate having openings therein odset from the openingsin the upthe openings in the two stationary plates as the slide plate is shifted from one eXtreme position to the other, a second slide plate mounted under the lower stationary plate and having key-hole slots therein the narrow ends of which normally register with the openings in the lower stationary plate, a rock shaft carried by one of the stationary plates for operating one of the slide plates and crank arms on the rock with slotted extensions of said slide plate.

6. A machine as described in claim 5 and wherein the last mentioned slideplate is formed with .slots receiving stop pins anchored to one of the stationary plates. MAGGIORINO G. BERTONE.
