Abstract
An apparatus for automatically and successively assembling ribbon feeder roller assemblies of ink ribbon cassettes, comprises a fixed base, shaft supplying means for supplying a horizontally positioned shaft to a first predetermined position on the fixed base, a pair of roller supplying means for supplying a pair of elastic rollers to be fitted to the shaft to second predetermined positions on the fixed base where axes of the rollers are in parallel with an axis of the shaft and where the rollers are in axial alignment with each other, a first reciprocating member supported on the fixed base and capable of reciprocating in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the shaft, a pair of second reciprocating members supported on the fixed base on each side of the first reciprocating member and capable of reciprocating in a direction orthogonal to the reciprocating direction of the first reciprocating member, and drive control means for controlling and driving the first and second reciprocating members in a predetermined synchronous manner.
