<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector sending mechanism of a connector feeder which is for sending a connector to a connector receiving portion from a tube which stores the connector and can improve the air supplying efficiency by preventing the air coming out of it. <P>SOLUTION: Inside the tubes 2a-2j in the connector sending mechanism, connector pushers 19 having such a cross-sectional shape that can fill up a space in the cross-sectional area of the tubes 2a-2j are installed so as to be movable in the tube extended direction. The connector pushers 19 are moved in the tube extended direction by pushing them with the air supplied from an air supply source 18, and the connectors C, C' are sent out by the connector pushers 19 into connector receiving recesses 26, 27 of the connector receiving portions 24, 25. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
