<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a feeder including a case, a feed module, a stopper member and a swing arm. <P>SOLUTION: The case includes a feed channel. The feed module is pivoted at the upper end of the feed channel, and also swung between a feed position and a prepare position. The stopper member is arranged at the lower end of the feed channel. The swing arm is pivoted at the lower end of the feed channel, and includes a first end brought in contact with the bottom of the feed module and a second end brought in contact with the bottom of the stopper member. When the feed module is shifted from the feed position to the prepare position, the feed module pushes downward the first end, and the stopper member is lifted up by the second end and protrudes from the bottom of the feed channel. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
