Abstract

Apparatus for the conveyance of components punched out from a strip of material with the formation of a punched grid out of the working area of a press includes a feeding mechanism for conveying the strip of material into the working area of the press. At least one controllable ejector is arranged in an upper die for ejecting the punched-out components during the return stroke of the upper die onto the strip of material itself which is the conveyor. Lugs are punched into a remaining portion of the strip of material to be processed, behind the punched-out component, these lugs serving to retain the punched-out and dropped-off components on the strip of material.
