Abstract: A row feeder for distribution of nuts has: a guide passage (14) formed on a main unit (11) so as to receive a number of successively delivered nuts "N" in a series; a plurality of distribution passages (15) formed on the main unit and each extending from and perpendicular to the guide passage; stroking pushers (16) reciprocatable across the guide passage (14) so as to transfer the nuts "N" lying on it to the respective distribution passages (15); drivers (e.g., pneumatic cylinders) (17) causing the respective stroking pushers (16) to reciprocate; and individual feed chutes (13) respectively connected to the distribution passages (15). The row feeder further comprises a joint member (12) as a separate member in addition to the main unit (11), and the feed chutes (13) are secured to the joint member at given intervals between them.
