An apparatus for and method of installing angle plates at the corners of ducts which has at the opposite ends of each panel of the duct channel shaped flanges into which is installed an angle plate with the angle plates being utilized to secure adjacent ducts together utilizing fasteners. The angle plates are configurated so as to be automatically fed by way of a supply hopper and associated machinery is constructed whereby a lowermost angle plate in a stack is automatically fed into position overlying duct channel flanges after the duct has been clamped in place followed by the forcing of the angle plate into the duct channel flanges and the securement of the angle plate in place. There is a notch in each corner of the duct between adjacent channel flanges and the angle plate is initially positioned with a corner portion thereof tilted downwardly into the notch, after which the angle plate is pressed into the two channel flanges. The machine may place two angle flanges into two corners of one end of the duct and, further, there may be two sets of machinery so as to simultaneously place angle plates into the channel flanges at both the bottom and top of a duct. Finally, the duct may come with two portions joined by a seam which is automatically locked together at the time of the placement of the angle plates.

La présente invention vise un appareil servant à installer des cornières aux angles de conduits d'air dont les panneaux comportent, à leurs deux extrémités, des brides en U dans lesquelles viennent s'insérer les cornières qui, combinées à des dispositifs de fixation, servent à relier entre eux des tronçons de conduit adjacents. Les cornières sont configurées pour être distribuées automatiquement par une trémie d'alimentation, et la machine connexe est construite de manière que la cornière la plus basse dans la pile soit automatiquement disposée sur les brides du conduit, une fois celui-ci serré en place, puis insérée dans les brides et fixée en place. La cornière est d'abord insérée, en position inclinée vers le bas, dans une rainure pratiquée à chaque coin du conduit, entre les brides adjacentes, puis pressée en place dans les brides. La machine peut poser deux brides à deux angles d'une extrémité du conduit et, par la suite, deux ensembles de machines peuvent simultanément insérer des cornières dans les brides au sommet et au bas du conduit. Enfin, le conduit peut être fourni en deux parties reliées par un joint longitudinal, lesquelles sont automatiquement agrafées au moment de la mise en place des cornières.
