Abstract
A loose component supply device including component support memberconfigured to support components in a scattered state; and component supply apparatusconfigured to store components and discharge components towards the component support member from discharge opening, wherein, in the component supply apparatus, conveyor beltis arranged between storage sectionthat stores components and a discharge opening so as to extend diagonally upwards from the storage section on the side on which the discharge section is provided. Components housed in the housing section are discharged from the discharge opening towards the component support member by being conveyed by the conveyor belt. The component supply apparatus is removably mounted on the mounting section. Thus, because components are not discharged from the discharge opening unless the conveyor is operated, components do not fall from the discharge opening when the component supply apparatus is mounted on or removed from the mounting section.
