PURPOSE:To prevent parts from drop-out due to overlapping and rising thereof in a linear feeder for arranging and conveying fine parts such as resistors by blasting air from a nozzle to the surface of a conveying path in the rear end of said path. CONSTITUTION:Small-sized parts 1 on a conveying path 2 driven by an electromagnet are sent to an end of said path 2 and pressed against the upper surface of the path 2 by air blown from a nozzle 10 above said path 2. Thus, the conveying force is interrupted by the part 1 to which air is blasted so that the conveying force is hardly transmitted to the parts 1 preceding said part 1 to prevent the parts from dropping out due to vibration caused by overlapping and rising of the parts. |
