Abstract

A supply apparatus for prism-shaped chip components has two relatively movable taking-in members. When the members move relative to each other, flat surfaces thereof contact each other and a parallel space is formed between the upper portions of the two taking-in members. Relative movement of the two talking-in members causes the components in a storage chamber to enter the parallel space between the upper portions of the two taking-in members. The components entering the parallel space have the same thickness-wise orientation and are lengthwise in a supply passageway in a one by one in a state. The components move downward by gravity in the supply passageway and then in a discharge passageway.
