<p>The present invention is provided with: multiple tiers of sticks (21-25) which each house a plurality of components (3) continuously and are disposed to be obliquely inclined in a component supply direction; a weight ball (4) which is disposed at the end of the plurality of components (3) in the stick (21-25) and presses the plurality of components (3) in the supply direction; a component supply path (5) which is continuous with the stick (21-25); a weight ball collection path (6) which is continuous with a weight ball collection hole part (14) provided in the component supply path (5); a weight ball detection sensor (7) which is provided in the weight ball collection path (6); and a raising and lowering means which is operated by a signal from the sensor (7), and when the raising and lowering means is lowered by one tier on the basis of the signal from the sensor (7), the emptied lowermost-tier stick (21) is disconnected from the component supply path. Consequently, the present invention can achieve a simpler, more compact, and lower-cost structure, and in addition to this, makes it possible to reliably detect that a stick (21-25) has been emptied and efficiently replace the emptied stick with a stick (21-25) housing components.</p> |
