Abstract
A feeder apparatus includes: a reciprocating block moved reciprocally when a metal strip with collar-equipped through-holes is fed; a moving block disposed above the reciprocating block and connected to a connecting member so as to move in a movement direction of the reciprocating block; a pin block that moves together with the moving block and on which feed pins inserted into the through-holes are provided; an up-down cam unit that moves the pin block up and down; and a cam that is rotated by converting reciprocal movement of the reciprocating block to rotation about the width direction of the metal strip and includes a channel of a predetermined shape, wherein a cam follower inserted into the channel of the cam is provided on the moving block.
