PURPOSE:To simplify the structure of a part supply device, by providing such an arrangement that one of parts which are pushed into a supply chute, by a pressing member, is received by a stopper urged by a spring in the return position of the pressing member, and the stopper is pushed and opened in association with the going travel of the pressing member to drop the part. CONSTITUTION:The forefront of parts 1 which are lined up and sent to a supply section 7 is pushed and rides on a stopper 28, one at each time, through the opening of a chute 23 if a pressing block 22 is in its return position. Then, the pressing member 22 which is lowered by an air-cylinder 19 presses the part 1 on the stopper 28 to rotate the stopper 28 overcoming a spring 27, and therefore, the part 1 is released. The part is automatically dropped. The stopper 28 returns in association with the ascent of the pressing block 22, and then, receives the next part 1. These steps are repeated. With this arrangement, only one air-cylinder is sufficient to constitute the arrangement of the part supply device which may, therefore, be simplified. |
