In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the accommodation dimension of the main body accommodation recess 25 capable of accommodating the slider main body 12 in a fitted state (approximately no gap) is taken as a standard accommodation dimension L1, and a plurality of main bodies are accommodated. At least one of the recesses 25 is set to a storage size L2 larger than the reference storage size L1. More specifically, for example, the body storage recess 25a of the slider main body 12 is transferred from the trimming device 40 to the handle supply device 50 to set the reference storage size L1, and the slider is transferred from the handle supply device 50 to the lock stitch supply device 60. The main body receiving recess 25b of the main body 12 is set to a storage size L2 larger than the standard storage size L1, and the main body storage recess 25c for transferring the slider main body 12 from the lock pin supply device 60 to the assembly device 70 is set to the reference storage size L1. Therefore, in the main body storage recess 25b set to the storage size L2, idling occurs by the amount obtained by subtracting the reference storage size L1 from the storage size L2, and the conveyance distance DL decreases. In addition, the accommodation dimension of the main body accommodation recessed part 25 is the dimension in the same direction as the transfer direction of the slider main body 12. As shown in FIG.

Moreover, as another example, as shown in FIG. 7 , the main body receiving recess 25a that conveys the slider main body 12 from the trimming device 40 to the handle supply device 50 is set to the reference storage size L1, and the handle is supplied from the handle supply device 50 to the lock.

In this case, in the main body storage recess 25c set to the storage size L3, idling occurs by the amount obtained by subtracting the reference storage size L1 from the storage size L3, and the conveyance distance DL is further reduced.

In addition, it is not limited to the example of Fig. 2 and Fig. 7, the setting value of the accommodation dimension L2 of the main body accommodation recess 25, the accommodation dimension L3 is arbitrary, of course, the accommodation dimension of the main body accommodation recess 25 can also be set larger than the accommodation dimension L3. Moreover, the main body storage recess 25 set to the reference storage size L1, the main body storage recess 25 set to the storage size L2, the main body storage recess 25 set to the storage size L3, and the main body storage recess 25 set to other storage sizes The combination of each processing device 40 , 50 , 60 , 70 , 80 of the slider assembly device 10 is also optional, and can be freely combined according to the size and installation position of the respective processing devices 40 , 50 , 60 , 70 , and 80 of the slider assembly device 10 .

As described above, according to the slider assembly device 10 of the present embodiment, a plurality of main body receiving recesses 25 for accommodating the slider main body 12 are provided on the upper end edge of the conveyance plate 24 of the main body conveyance member 23, so that the slider main body 12 can be accommodated in the fitted state. The storage size of the main body receiving recess 25 that accommodates the slider main body 12 is taken as the reference receiving size L1, and at least one of the plurality of main body receiving recesses 25 is set to be larger than the receiving size L2 of the reference receiving size L1, so it is set to be larger than the reference receiving size L1. The main body accommodating recessed portion 25 having a large storage dimension L2 of L1 generates idling, so that the conveying distance DL of the slider main body 12 can be reduced. Therefore, the degree of freedom in arrangement of each processing device 40 , 50 , 60 , 70 , and 80 can be increased, and the slider assembly device 10 can be downsized.

In addition, this invention is not limited to what was illustrated in the said embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, it can change suitably.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the main body conveying member 23 operates on a rectangular track as shown in FIG. 2 , but it is not limited to this, and the track shown in FIGS. action. Specifically, it is also possible to add a return movement on the same line to a part of the track as shown in Figure 8(a), or to add a diagonal linear shape to a part of the track as shown in Figure 8(b) and Figure 8(c). The movement of, or Fig. 8 (d), adds the movement of curve shape in a part of orbit, and, also can be the orbit of ellipse shape like Fig. 8 (e).

Moreover, in this embodiment, the case where the slider provided with the automatic stop function including the lock pin was assembled was illustrated, but it is not limited to this, and the slider which does not have the automatic stop function may be assembled. In addition, the slider without an automatic stop function refers to a slider that does not have lock pins and claw holes, but has a handle installation column on the upper wing plate, and the handle installation column is pressed tightly to install the slider.
