Abstract
A device for separation, orientation, and positioning of parts essentially flat in their general shape, characterized by the fact that the parts are supplied in flat position upon a storage rail and that the device includes, in combination, a tilter which can be activated by a piston between an initial, raised position and a second, tilted position, with the tilter including a support forming a continuation of the storage rail when the tilter is in raised position so as to receive the first of parts from the reserve, with stops arresting the rest of the parts, and with the support further including retaining members (9) for preventing the part from being dislodged, while stop pads stop the first part remaining on the rail during tilting of the tilter.
