Abstract
A feeder, for which carrier tape is reliably inserted to a specified position without contacting engaging protrusions of sprocket, is provided. The feeder includes an entrance retaining member that pushes the carrier tape inserted into a tape insertion section towards a tape feeding path, a rotatable lever that raises the entrance retaining member when the carrier tape is inserted into the tape insertion section, and a contact prevention device that prevents contact between the carrier tape inserted into the tape insertion section and the engaging protrusions when the entrance retaining member is raised by the rotation of the lever.
