Abstract
A lifting mechanism is arranged between a cartridge main body and a reel support member. With the cartridge main body set in a parts mounter, the lifting mechanism allows the reel support member to be supported by the cartridge main body so that the reel support member can be pivoted upward at a predetermined pivoting angle (set position PA.fwdarw.bar code read position PB). While cartridges are kept placed in the parts mounter, a parts supply reel attached to a given cartridge is made to project from other reels. This enables a bar code reader to read the parts code of a label adhered on one side surface of that reel.
