<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably and surely send ferrules to next process at fixed time intervals one by one while suppressing the occurrence of scraps, dust, and the like. <P>SOLUTION: A ferrule supply device 1 includes: a storage body 2 in which a plurality of ferrules F are stored; a rotating plate 3 rotating around a center axial line O of the storage body; a storage concave portion 35 which is formed at an outer peripheral edge part of the rotating plate and has one ferrule stored therein to move the ferrule in a circumferential direction associated with rotation of the rotating plate; an air blowing member 4 which blows air A into the inside of the storage body through an air outlet 60 formed in a peripheral wall part 11 of the storage body; and an ejection port 50 which ejects the ferrule in the storage concave portion, which has been moved by the rotation of the rotating plate, to the outside of the storage body. The storage body is inclined to a horizontal surface and is arranged so that the ejection port is located above the lowest point position of the storage body, and the air outlet is formed on the upstream side of the ejection port in a rotation direction of the rotating plate and is formed in such a height position that the air outlet faces the storage concave portion in a radial direction of the rotating plate. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
