PURPOSE:To enable parts to be supplied in a plurality of rows, by actuating movable walls provided in a plurality of discharging channels located downstream of a closer so as to subsequently switch the channels while the supply of parts is stopped by the closer which is provided downstream of a swivel-type part feeder. CONSTITUTION:A swivel-type part feeder is provided, around a rotary disk 1, with an orientation track 2 rotating in an inclined relation with respect to the disk 1, and further provided with a fixed wall for aligning parts 3 over the track 2. A discharging wall 7 is connected to the outlet 12 of the aligning wall 3, and other discharging walls 9 and 11 are provided in parallel to the wall 7 such that discharging channels 8 and 10 are defined therebetween each with a predetermined width. Movable walls 5 and 6 which are rocked by an appropriate driving means are provided at the ends of the discharging walls 9 and 11, respectively, so as to be driven and controlled in accordance with the control of the parts supplied to the discharging channels 8 and 10. When parts are supplied to the channel 10, for example, the movable wall 5 is actuated to open the aligning channel 3' (to close the discharging channel 8), while the movable wall 6 is actuated to close the aligning channel 3'.
