PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spring feeder in which tangled small springs are separated into individual springs, the separated small springs are aligned in a row in the compression-elongation direction thereof, and the jamming thereof in the conveying path for feeding the springs is released. SOLUTION: This spring feeder includes: a container 1 to which vibrations are appropriately provided; a separation means for separating a plurality of tangled small springs; and a conveying path A for feeding springs that is disposed outside the container 1 and conveys the springs inside the container 1 to the outside of the container 1. A conveying portion 6 for connection that has a conveying groove 62 for connection is provided in the end portion of the conveying path A for feeding. An ejection portion 7 for spring removal that has an ejection nozzle 71 is attached in the appropriate position of the conveying groove 62 for connection. A distal end of the ejection nozzle 71 of the ejection portion 7 for spring removal is brought close to the conveying groove 62 for connection, and the ejection direction of the ejection nozzle 71 is substantially opposite to the direction of conveying the springs.
