PURPOSE: To enable a single machine to feed parts in various manners, by providing a slider which is intermittently moved from a stand-by position at one side toward a feed position at the other side and by providing a plurality of parts housing grooves on the slider.
CONSTITUTION: A pair of right and left parts feed units 1, 1, in which different bolts (a) are stored, are provided. Parts outgoing passages 2 extend from the feed units 1, 1. Gates 3 are provided at the downstream ends of the passages 2. A slider 4, which is intermittently moved from a right-hand stand-by position to a left-hand feed position and has a plurality of parts housing grooves 5 at intervals equal to the pitches of the intermittent movement, is installed in front of the gates 3. The gates 3 are coupled to the rocking arms 7 of selectors 6. The takeout grooves 8 of the gates 3 are intermittently connected to the passages 2 by the rocking of the arms 7. As a result, the bolts (a) are sequentially inserted into the housing grooves 5 and thereafter conveyed by air pressure to a prescribed place through a pressure conveyance tube 13.
