Abstract

A component feeding apparatus for pitch-feeding taping components (1) to a component feed position (30), peeling a cover tape (1b) short of the component feed position (30) and taking out and feeding a component (5) from an accommodation portion (1c) at the component feed position (30), wherein the component is supplied stably in an appropriate posture to the component feed position (30). A slit (36) is formed in a shutter (35) capable of moving between a position at which the upper surface of the taping component (1) is covered and a position at which the component feed position is opened so that a cover tape (1b) peeled from the taping component (1) can be passed through the slit (36) and can be pulled up, and the peeling step of the cover tape (1b) and the pitch-feeding step of the taping component (1) can be separated from each other to prevent the component (5) from greatly moving and assuming an irregular posture inside the accommodation portion (1c).
