Abstract
An apparatus for automatically electronically testing condom includes an inflation tub (12) that has an internal chamber for housing a plurality of floating condoms (24). A jug assembly (16) has a plurality of jugs. Each of the jugs (68) is mounted on a rotating mounting plate (72) and receives a condom (24) from the inflation tub by employment of a plurality of pick-up tubes (56) as mounted on a rotating disc (60) driven by a rotating shaft (58). A mandrel assembly (18) has a plurality of mandrels which are loaded with condoms after the plurality of jugs is loaded by vacuum suction force from loading tube (64) mounted on a rotating front turret plate (66). Each of the mandrels receives a condom from one of the jugs to electronically test the condom on a test drum roller (not shown), thereby permitting separation of acceptable condom articles from failed condom articles in terms of ability to insulate an applied voltage at test drum roller.
