Abstract

A component transfer mechanism transfers chip components along a liner passage by applying an inhaling pressure or a discharging pressure of an air bag or an air cylinder directly to the chip components in the liner passage, or by operating a component transfer member through an air actuator by the inhaling pressure or the discharging pressure. A component take-in mechanism stirs chip components in a storage chamber and takes them into a feeding passage by applying the inhaling pressure or the discharging pressure of the air bag or the air cylinder directly to the chip components in the storage chamber, or by operating a component stirring member through the air actuator by the inhaling pressure or the discharging pressure. A component separating mechanism separates the foremost chip component from the succeeding chip components by applying the inhaling pressure or the discharging pressure of the air bag or the air cylinder directly to the foremost chip component in the liner passage, or by operating a component separating member through the air actuator by the inhaling pressure or the discharging pressure.
