ABSTRACT:
A button feeder feeds a button to a button applicator which applies the button to a garment fabric piece. The button feeder has a feed guide, a first side guide member having a substantially wedge-shaped groove, and a second side guide member having a wall confronting the wedge-shaped groove. The first side guide member includes a first guide element fixed to the base and a second guide element movably mounted on the first guide element for movement toward and away from the first guide element, the wedge-shaped groove being defined between the first and second guide elements. The second guide element is normally urged resiliently toward the first guide element. When the button is fed by the button feeder, its circular head tends to be wedged into the wedge-shaped groove, which is then spread by the movement of the second guide element away from the first guide element to allow the circular head to be smoothly moved without undue frictional resistance.
