Abstract
The present invention discloses a nut feeder for the feeding of nuts for resistance welding. A stopper,is provided which is so energized as to enter into the inside of a chute,from a lower-end lateral side of the chute,. A lowermost nut,in the chute,is held by the stopper,, thereby being prevented from falling. With a pin,of the nut receiver,set against a projection part,of the stopper,, a nut receiver,is moved backward together with the stopper,, by which the holding of the nut,is released. Then the nut,is placed at a position ahead of the pin,of the nut receiver,while leaning against the stopper,. Thereafter the nut receiver,is moved forward and the nut,falls down so that its threaded hole fits onto the pin,and is delivered to under the upper electrode.
