Bracket 1, secured to the press ram, engages flange c of cam bushing 2 with its lugs b. Bushing 2 has helical cam groove d and can slide along and turn about fixed post A. Pin e, secured in the post, engages groove d of bushing 2. Spring fingers 3, pivoted to swinging arm a of bushing 2, grip workpiece 5. When the press ram with bracket 1 travels upward, fingers 3 lift workpiece 5 out of hole k in dial 6 of the press and then, as pin e slides in the angular part of cam groove d, bushing 2 and arm a are swung to carry workpiece 5 over the edge of dial 6. At this point, the top ends of fingers 3 contact fixed stop 7, opening the fingers and releasing the workpiece which drops into a chute. Spring 4 imparts the required gripping pressure to fingers 3. Centralizing pins f are provided to locate fingers 3 correctly over the workpiece when the press ram and bracket 1 travel downward.
