PURPOSE:To minimize the occupying area of a vibration parts supply device provided with a pole having a spiral feed track, by providing a plurality of hoppers for different kinds of component parts, so that the discharged ports of these hoppers are selectively opened and closed to feed the parts into a common means for orderly feeding component parts. CONSTITUTION:Different kinds of component parts are reserved in hoppers 7, 8, respectively. When the parts in the hopper 7 are fed, a gate plate which is not shown and which is attached to the gate frame 18 of the hopper 7 is manipulated to open the gate of the hopper 7 alone. Simultaneously, a vibrator 15 is driven to vibrate the hopper 7. With this arrangement the parts in the hopper 7 are dropped onto the spiral trough 28 of an electromagnetic vibration feeder 2 through a guide 14, a guide chute 24 and a chute 22, and then are transferred through a orderly feeding means for arranging the postures of the parts in order and feeding the same, which is not shown. With this arrangement having one and the same orderly feeding means, different kinds of component parts may be fed, thereby it is possible to minimize the occuplying area of the device. |
