An apparatus (90) for feeding an electric-component tape which includes a carrier tape having feed holes in its lengthwise direction and which holds electric components at a predetermined pitch in the lengthwise direction, the apparatus including a drive device (300), two pivotable members (280, 282) which are reciprocatively pivotable about a common axis line, a motion converting device (302) which converts the motion of the drive device into the respective reciprocative pivotal motions of the two pivotable members, such that when one of the two pivotable members is pivoted in one of opposite directions about the common axis line, the other pivotable member is pivoted in the other direction and, vice versa, a feed member (272) having projections projecting outward from its circulateable circumferential surface to engage the feed holes of the carrier tape, and two one-way transmitting devices (276, 284, 286) one of which transmits the pivotal motion of the one pivotable member in the one direction, to the feed member, but does not transmit the pivotal motion of the one pivotable member in the other direction, and the other of which transmits the pivotal motion of the other pivotable member in the one direction, to the feed member, but does not transmit the pivotal motion of the other pivotable member in the other direction. <IMAGE> |
