PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bead member feeding apparatus that can minimize deformation of a bead member caused by gravity even through the bead member is stored for a long period of time. SOLUTION: A plurality of chains 5 are installed that are trained about a pair of upper and lower pulleys 3, 4, with a plurality of receiving plates 7 attached to each chain 5 with equal prescribed spaces apart in the vertical directions. The respective receiving plates 7 of the respective chains 5 are set so as to be arrayed at the same height position. The receiving plates 7 attached to the respective chains 5 are configured to be synchronously elevated or lowered, with a bead member B placed flat and stored on the receiving plates 7 arrayed at the same height position. The bead member B so stored are successively moved upward while placed flat, taken out by a transfer machine 11 at the upper end of a feeding unit 2, and supplied to a separate processing.
