Abstract
A chip component feeding apparatus translates chip components accommodated in bulk along a passage in alignment and feeds the foremost chip component to a predetermined take-out position. A curved passage having at its passage center a predetermined radius of curvature is disposed between the bore of a fixed pipe (vertical passage) and linear passages (transverse passage) used for the transport of components. An opening for the discharge of chip components is provided in the vicinity of the transverse passage of the curved passage.
