Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To feed an article easily with a simple structure without damaging it regardless of the shape of a fed part. SOLUTION: A bellows chute 14 which is deformed in a circular shape is disposed at the end part of the outlet side of a conveyor 2 so that it may advance and retreat freely, and a inclination holding device 20 which includes a base 23 at the lower of the end part is disposed. A supporting body 31 whose side surface is roughly L-shaped side which supports a container 29 and a moving means 47 which inclines and moves the supporting body 31 are fitted at the base 23. The container 29 which is carried-in at the article feeding position is lifted and supported by the supporting body 31 and inclined and moved until the end part of the conveyor 2 faces a feed port 28 or is located inside the port 28. The chute 14 is made to protrude from the end part of the output side of the conveyor 2 until the top part faces the bottom part of the roughly container 29. The article which is carried-out from the conveyor 2 is made to side down from the chute 14 moderately and is fed inside the inclined container 29. The dropping distance of the article is shortened, and the bottom surface of the container 29 is inclined, thus it is possible to decrease dropping impact.
