PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer feeder capable of suppressing an increase in the deflection of transfer bars when they are increased in size.SOLUTION: A transfer feeder 10 includes a pair of transfer bars 14 parallel to each other, driving mechanisms 16-20 which horizontally support both the transfer bars at their both ends, and cause both the transfer bars to move in a longitudinal direction thereof, to move in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction thereof, and to move in a vertical direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction thereof, and an auxiliary mechanism 22 for aiding the support to the transfer bars. The auxiliary mechanism has at least one table 32 on which each of the transfer bars is slidably loaded between both ends thereof to support the transfer bars in an auxiliary manner. Each table is moved in the vertical direction synchronously with the movement of each transfer bar in the vertical direction. |
