PURPOSE:To remove a should-be-removed part without damaging it, by dividing a part of a part conveying track into a narrow path and an inclined path sloping down in the direction of vibrative conveyance of the part and communicating with the lower part of the track. CONSTITUTION:In a vibratory part feeder 2, a part conveying track 6 is vibrated to convey a part (m). A part of the track 6 is divided into a narrow path 6a and an inclined path 7 sloping down in the direction of the vibrative conveyance of the part (m) and communicating with the lower part of the track. The part (m) to be removed downward from the track 6 is guided to the lower part of the track through the inclined path 7. The element is thus protected from the shock of conventional dropping. Therefore, the part feeder 2 can be safely applied to easily breakable or damageable parts. The part (m) guided to the lower part of the track 6 is conveyed again on the track in the same direction. |
