GROMMET INSERTION METHOD AND APPARATUS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus is provided for the automated insertion of elastomeric grommets in the legs of a compressor base. The holes in each of the compressor legs are aligned with respective discharge ends of guide cylinders which function to receive the grommets and to force them upwardly through a converging portion thereof to deform a head portion sufficiently such that it passes through the compressor leg hole and is then allowed to spring back to its original shape to secure the grommet within the hole. Provision is also made for assisting the removal of the remaining portion of the grommet from the guide cylinder by a push rod which engages the base of the compressor at the same time that the grommet head passes through the leg opening, such that the entire compressor is moved upwardly to pull the grommet body from the converging portion of the guide cylinders.
