ABSTRACT:
A Feeder for elongate components, in particular components designed with a head, has a feed tube with an inlet orifice which can be connected to a feed line and an orifice in the top region thereof and a gripper with at least two gripping arms (1) which are provided with a front gripping region (2) and a rear pivot axis region (3).
The gripper is arranged in the feed tube which has, in its top region, a lower plane surface and an upper plane surface opposed to it;
The gripping arms (1) each have a guide step (6) which preferably tapers and extends from the pivot axis region to the gripping region (2) on a longitudinal end face (5) turned toward the upper plane surface, the guide step (6) serving to guide the head of an elongate component; and
The gripping arms (1) have, in the gripping region (2), a recess (7) adapted to the external shape of the elongate components to be gripped.
