Abstract

A calibrating distributor of cylindrical members incorporating a cylindrical member supply station, a drum for transferring the members between the supply and a distribution station, the drum having equidistant cavities, each of which receive one of the members, a calibrating plate to transfer the cylindrical members having a diameter exceeding a maximum permitted diameter between the distribution station and an ejection station, the plate having equidistant calibrated holes, which are at least partly frustum-shaped, whose smallest diameter is equal to the maximum permitted diameter, a drive for the stepwise rotation of the transfer drum and the calibrating plate, and a pusher for forcing the cylindrical members contained in the cavities into and through calibrated holes whereby the members having a diameter exceeding the maximum permitted diameter remain jammed in the holes and are ejected at the ejection station.
