This spring feeder (1) comprises: a coil spring reception container (2) which has a spiral conveying track (22) upwards from the bottom surface; a separation part bottom plate (23) which partially covers an upper opening of the reception container (2); and an air-jet port (35) which is provided in the inner circumferential wall (2a) of the reception container (2), wherein the coil spring is conveyed to a coil spring conveying-out port (4) by torsional vibration, which is imparted to the reception container (2), along the inner circumferential wall (2a) on the separation part bottom plate (23) from the conveying track (22). On the top surface (27) of the separation bottom plate (23) which is gradually inclined to the inner circumferential wall from the center (C) of the reception container, erected are a first vertical plate (31) which is inclined toward the downstream side in the conveying direction along the inner circumferential wall (2a) and a second vertical plate (32) which is further inclined than that at the downstream side of the first vertical plate (31). The air-jet port (35) is inclined toward and aligned with the downstream side in a conveyance direction with respect to a first surface (31a) of the first vertical plate (31) opposite to the air-jet direction.

Abrégé

This component supply device (11) is provided with a component housing container (15) having a conveying track (33) which is formed along a peripheral wall thereof and extends from a bottom surface toward an upper section in a spiral shape, and a vibrating device (13) which imparts torsional vibration to a movable block (19). An annular sealing member attachment part (27), having an annular sealing member (29) attached thereto and a suction hole (19b) which opens on the inside of the sealing member attachment part (27), is formed on an upper surface (19a) of the movable block (19), and an annular sealing member contact surface (41) is formed on a bottom section of the component housing container (15). While the sealing member (29) is brought into contact with the sealing member contact surface (41), suctioning is carried out through the suction hole (19b) to allow the lower surface of the component housing container (15) to be vacuum suctioned, so that the component housing container (15) is mounted on the movable block (19).
