The present invention provides an apparatus for feeding screws. In the apparatus, screws are scooped up from the storage container by a scooping unit and put onto a carrying unit. The screws are arranged in line and carried by the carrying unit and discharged through a discharge unit. The scooping unit includes a rotating arm which rotates on the outer wall of the storage container, and a magnet which is fastened to the front end of the rotating arm. The carrying unit includes a screw receiving part. The rotating arm rotates on the outer wall of the storage container to scoop up the screws using magnetic force of the magnet and load the screws onto the screw receiving part. The scooping unit further includes a magnet spacing part which is provided on the outer wall of the storage container. The magnet spacing part moves the magnet of the rotating arm away from the outer wall of the storage container, so that when the magnet is moved away from the outer wall of the storage container at the upper portion of the storage container, the attractive force of the magnet to the screws is reduced, thus dropping the screws onto the screw receiving part of the carrying unit. |
