A chip component feeder which has high feeding efficiency feeds chip components individually in stable orientations. The separating feeder of the present invention includes a scattering disk disposed so that the top surface thereof is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, a transferring groove formed on the scattering disk and a cavity formed at an outer peripheral end portion of the scattering disk. When the scattering disk is rotated, chip components are dropped into the transferring groove and are aligned in a predetermined direction. After the chip components are accommodated in the cavity by gravitational force (i.e., by upward rotation of the transferring groove), separation of the chip component in the cavity from the chip components in the transferring groove can be achieved.
