    Patent number: 3986599
    Abstract: A mechanical part feeder in which an endless conveyor elevates parts retained in pockets provided by slightly inclined transverse strips extending between endless chains and guided to incline forwardly so as to cause the strips to tilt and release the parts. These parts fall on an inclined platform over which they advance onto a plurality of separated tracks. A pivoted shelf is provided on the edge of the platform to yield if any parts extend beyond the inclined strips to avoid jamming.
