ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for delivering a button body with a hub and a flange applied to a part between a chute through which the button body is fed gravitationally from a hopper and a button feeder of a button applicator to which the button body is delivered. According to a preferred embodiment, a receiving member, which is pivotably fixed to a stopper placed facing an outlet of the chute and which is urged to the chute by a spring, has a receiving projection as well as a cam projection. A pusher moving backward and forward along a space between the receiving member and the outlet of the chute is provided with a cam receiving surface including a notch on its side face facing the receiving member. A pocket is formed by the fore end of the pusher and the inner face of the receiving projection in order to receive the hub of the button body. The receiving projection is pivotable moved off or moved in close to the chute in conjunction with the movement of the pusher by the cam receiving surface including the notch, the cam projection and the spring so that the button body can be passed to the button feeder smoothly without being forced by any other members.
