ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for feeding articles with a head and a shank one at a time head end first through a conduit to a staking press, driver or other power tool. One article at a time is fed sidewise into an axial passageway and is received on a slide rod with its shank extending into a pilot passage in the rod. The slide rod is moved to an extended position in the passageway which closes the inlet and compressed gas is admitted to the pilot passage to propel the article head first through the conduit. The slide rod is then retracted to open the inlet for receiving another article. The articles are admitted one at a time to the passage by a metering arm driven by a fluid motor.
