ABSTRACT:
A nonmagnetic bulk feeder for feeding electronic components one at a time into a lead forming machine or the like comprises a hopper and a chute for loading the components into the hopper. A conveyor is mounted for movement along the bottom wall of the hopper. The conveyor is formed with notches which are arranged closely adjacent one another to receive the transversely extending body portion of a component located in the lower end of the hopper to transport the components one at a time out of the hopper. The chute has a slipway channel which is shaped to axially align electronic components with the direction in which they slide down the chute. The chute is arranged to discharge the components laterally of the hopper from a point adjacent a first side wall toward the other side wall so as to strike the other side wall at a point of contact adjacent the back wall such that the component will thereafter slide down the back wall to assume a position extending transversely of the hopper at the lower end of the back wall. A conveyor is mounted for movement along the bottom wall from the lower end of the back wall to a receiver for components. The conveyor is adapted to receive the transversely extending body portion of a component located at the lower end of the back wall to transport the components one at a time out of the hopper.
