Abstract

A chip component feeding apparatus translates chip components in alignment along a passage and feeds the foremost chip component to a predetermined take-out position. The foremost chip component is separated from the remaining translated chip components. A stopper is displaceable between a predetermined stop position where the foremost chip component stops, and a predetermined take-out position spaced from the stop position. A first attracting section attracts the foremost chip component to the stopper to displace the stopper and the foremost chip component at the stopped position. A second attracting section attracts the foremost chip component to a transport belt.
