.~ With relatively movable finder and orienter of apertures or passages in work
DEFINITION
Classification: 134/43
(under the class definition) Apparatus in which there is a station having both (1) means movable relative to the work (a finder) so as to enter an aperture or passage in the work, and (2) means to support the work so as to move (orient) the work by hand or power at the station until a passage or aperture out of line with the finder is moved to a position in line therewith and the finder does so enter (i.e., move the work at the station from a position where the aperture or
passage is improperly positioned to a position where the aperture or passage is in a position in which the finder enters the same).
(1) Note. For example, barrels which are rotated at the station until the finder enters the bunghole are here.
(2) Note. The finder may be a fluid delivery conduit or a separate element.
(3) Note. Guide means in line with a fluid delivery means so as to guide the work thereto, so that the fluid delivery means enters an aperture or passage, there being no means to orient the work relative to the guide, are not in this or the indented subclasses, but appropriate following subclasses, as are conveyors which convey the work to fluid applying means but having no means to orient the work relative to the conveyor.
