摘要

22 A method and a device for feeding electric and/or electronic elements to positions in which the elements can be picked-up by transfer members. The device comprises feed channels in which the elements can be arranged between guides in parallel rows with equal distances between the elements in each row. Means are provided for simultaneously advancing all rows of elements in a stepwise manner through a distance at each step which is equal to the distance between the centres of the elements in each row, the ends of the feed channels comprising openings which are accessible to transfer members.
