An apparatus for picking up one or several flexible annular parts such as an endless rubber belts from a random stack thereof, and for separating, during a conveyance of the picked up parts, into independent pieces. As the parts are successively conveyed to a feeding position a plurality of claws are inserted into the earliest part so as to stretch the part radially outwardly and hold the part in the stretched condition. The claws then convey the part to a fitting position with the claws then releasing the part from the stretched condition and transferring it to the article, thereby fitting the flexible annular part around the article. |
