ABSTRACT:
An adapter feeding apparatus which is capable of feeding adapters (1) in a predetermined position to the next process step at a stable and constant pace is disclosed. The adapter feeding apparatus includes a hopper portion for receiving the adapters (1), a guide passage portion for guiding the adapters (1) from the hopper portion into a drum element, an adapter delivery mechanism for delivering the adapters (1) one by one, an adapter transport mechanism (15) having a pair of guide rails (44) downwardly inclined in a transport direction (P) and spaced to inhibit the passage of a positioning rib (20) therethrough, the adapter transport mechanism (15) for rotating the guide rails (44) upwardly outwardly, a chute portion (16) for guiding the adapters (1) from the adapter delivery mechanism to the spacing between the guide rails (44) upstream of the transport direction (P) of the adapter transport mechanism (15), and an adapter extraction and supply mechanism (17) for extracting the adapters (1) sequentially transported downstream of the transport direction (P) of the guide rails (44) one by one to feed the adapters to the next process step.
