PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oscillation bowl feeder capable of feeding an article to be fed by the approximately fixed number or the fixed amount by a simple constitution regardless of a remained amount of the article to be fed in the bowl. SOLUTION: The oscillation bowl feeder has the bowl provided with a conveying passage and a discharge port and storing the article to be fed; an excitation unit; and a control device. In the feeder, by giving excitation force to the bowl by the excitation unit, the article to be fed stored in the bowl is raised on the conveying passage and is discharged to the outside of the bowl from the discharge port. A notch part is provided on the conveying passage and a notch part sensor for detecting the article to be fed dropping off on the notch part is provided. The control device controls the excitation force to the bowl by the excitation unit based on the dropping off of the article to be fed detected by the notch part sensor, thereby, a discharge amount of the article to be fed is controlled.
