Abstract
A groove for allowing passing of a component storage section during conveyance of a carrier tape having the component storage section protruding is formed in a tape conveyance path of a feeder. The groove is provided with a tape lower face biasing member which is pressed by the lower face of the carrier tape and is deformed downward when the carrier tape has the component storage section protruding until the carrier tape inserted from a tape insertion section reaches a rear side sprocket, and biases the lower face of the carrier tape when the carrier tape has the component storage section not protruding.
