  • the lead wire terminal 100 falls so that the lead wire 104 side faces downward, the lead wire terminal 100 is stored in the storage unit 50 in a state where the directions are aligned. As a result, the lead wire terminals 100 can be supplied to the external device in a state in which the directions are aligned.
  • auxiliary plates 26a and 26b are provided adjacent to the enlarged diameter portions 24a and 24b, respectively.
  • the stacking state described below occurred. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, if the diameter-expanded portion 24a is provided, the catching is easily eliminated, but the rolled portion 102aC of the lead wire terminal 100C momentarily enters the diameter-expanded portion 24a due to vibration.
  • the diameter-expanded portion 24a may be fitted into the slit 24 on the other end E4 side (downstream side). This also applies to the enlarged diameter portion 24b.
  • the lead wire terminals 100A and 100B that have moved from the upstream side cannot advance further in the moving direction A, and a stack state may occur.
  • the lead wire terminal 100 in the lying state is guided by the auxiliary plates 26a and 26b so as to get over the upper surfaces of the auxiliary plates 26a and 26b, so that the above-mentioned stack state occurs.
  • the possibility can be greatly reduced.
  • the auxiliary plates 26a and 26b (upper surface) are preferably at the same height as the upper end of the slit 24, but may not be at the same height as long as the occurrence of a stack state can be suppressed.
  • pins 28a and 28b are provided in the space S1 in the rail portion 20, respectively.
  • the lead wire terminal 100 When the lead wire terminal 100 is displaced on the slit 24 in its posture, the lead wire terminal 100 rotates vigorously with the rod-shaped portion 102b as a fulcrum due to the reaction during rotation.
  • the pins 28a and 28b are not provided, if the lead wire terminal 100 falls from the diameter-expanded portion 24a or the diameter-expanded portion 24b in such a state, the lead wire terminal 100 rotates in the space S1 and the rolled portion 102a side faces downward. It sometimes fell in the state of.
  • the article supply device 1 by providing the pins 28a and 28b, even if the rotating lead wire terminal 100 falls, it is suppressed that the lead wire terminal 100 falls in a state where the rolled portion 102a side faces downward. NS.
  • the lead wire terminal 100 shown in FIG. 9A is immediately after the posture is displaced, and is moving in the moving direction A while vigorously rotating.
  • the lead wire terminal 100 advances in the moving direction A and the lead wire 104 comes into contact with the pin 28a as shown in FIG. 9B, a part of the rotational energy of the lead wire terminal 100 is absorbed by the pin 28a (that is, rotation). The momentum diminishes) and it falls as shown in FIG.
  • the lead wire terminal 100 rotates slightly in the direction opposite to the moving direction A with the pin 28a as the fulcrum (see the solid wire), and as a result, the lead wire 104 side faces downward.
  • the space S1 and the space S2 are dropped.
  • the lead wire terminal 100 is prevented from falling with its rolled portion 102a side facing downward.
  • the pin 28a is provided at a position (one end on the E3 side) separated from the enlarged diameter portion 24a in the direction opposite to the moving direction A. More specifically, in the pin 28a, when the lead wire 104 of the lead wire terminal 100 moving toward the enlarged diameter portion 24a comes into contact with the pin 28a and the tab terminal 102 is tilted in the moving direction A due to inertia. , It is preferable that the tab terminal 102 is provided at a position separated from the enlarged diameter portion 24a in the direction opposite to the moving direction A by an arbitrary distance so that the tab terminal 102 can smoothly fall from the enlarged diameter portion 24a. This also applies to the pin 28b.
  • an external force that allows the lead wire terminal 100 to move in the moving direction A may be applied by means other than the vibrator 60.
  • the lead wire terminal 100 may be moved by wind pressure.
  • the slit 24 may be inclined. That is, it may extend in a direction that intersects the vertical direction at an angle that is not orthogonal to the vertical direction.
  • the supply unit 10 may not be provided.
  • the lead wire terminal 100 may be manually supplied to one end E3 of the rail unit 20 instead of the supply unit 10.
  • the present invention supplies an article other than the lead wire terminal 100, which supplies a long article (for example, a screw with a head) having one portion having a larger diameter than the other portion to an external device. It can also be applied to devices.
