PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably and surely feed ferrules to a next step one by one at regular time intervals.SOLUTION: A ferrule feeding device 1 comprises: a storage body 2 that stores multiple ferrules F; a rotating plate 3 that rotates around a central axis line O; a housing recess 35 that moves the ferrules in a circumferential direction in association with the rotation of the rotating plate; a first air blow member 4 that blows air A1 into the storage body through an air outlet 60; and a discharge mechanism 5 that discharges the ferrules in the housing recess, which are moved by the rotation of the rotating plate, toward the outside of the storage body through an outlet 50 formed at the storage body. The storage body is inclined to a horizontal surface, and the outlet is arranged so as to be positioned above a bottom point of the storage body. And, the air outlet is formed on an upstream side of a rotation direction from the outlet and is formed at a position as high as a position for facing the housing recess in a diameter direction of the rotating plate. The discharge mechanism comprises: a discharge passage that communicates with the outlet; and a second air blow member 56 that blows the air into the discharge passage. |
