Abstract
This invention pertains to machines for installing tapped nuts, studs, or the like machine parts, whether or not having their outer surface provided with thread, knurling or similar profiles, which are to be pressed into corresponding cavities provided in a work piece, usually made of a material softer than the material of the said machine parts. The machine comprises a framework for supporting a vertically reciprocable, horizontally tractable installer head with a rotatable spindle onto which inserts are threaded one at a time for the installation thereof in suitable bores provided in the work and control means for reversing the rotation of the spindle on every installing cycle, said machine comprising insert holding means transferable between a first position, wherein the insert is held in axial alignment with respect to said spindle and a second position; means for transferring the said holding means from the first position to the second position after the threading of an insert on said spindle and means for feeding inserts to said holding means when in the second position.
