In the spring feeder in which tangled small springs are separated into individual springs and separated small springs are arranged in a row in the compression-elongation direction thereof, jamming in the conveying path for feeding the springs, which is the final portion of the conveying path of the feeder, is released. A spring feeder includes: a container to which vibrations are appropriately provided; a separation unit for separating a plurality of tangled small springs; and a conveying path for feeding springs that is disposed outside the container and conveys the springs inside the container to the outside of the container. A conveying portion for connection that has a conveying groove for connection is provided in an end portion of the conveying path for feeding. An ejection portion for spring removal that has an ejection nozzle is attached in an appropriate position of the conveying groove for connection. A distal end of the ejection nozzle of the ejection portion for spring removal is brought close to the conveying groove for connection, and an ejection direction of the ejection nozzle is substantially opposite to a direction of conveying the springs. |
