Abstract: A supply aparatus for supplying screws, rivets, or the like includes a chute for supplying screws or the like to a predetermined position, a detecting means for detecting that one of screws or the like has been taken out from the predetermined position, and a vibrating means for vibrating the chute. When the detecting means detects that one of the screws, or the like, has been taken out from the predetermined position, the vibrating means temporarily vibrates the chute, so that the following screws or the like can be smoothly supplied to the predetermined position.

Abstract: A supply apparatus for supplying a screw, a rivet, or the like includes a chute in which one edge portion of an upper opening of a guide slit formed therein is located inside a stock section or thereabove, so that screws in an abnormal position can be removed by a brush member not on the upper surface of an oscillating dipper but on the upper surface of the chute. A timing between oscillation of the dipper and movement of the brush member need not be controlled. Screws of abnormal position can be removed with a simple mechanism so as to supply only those of normal position to a predetermined position, and to reliably return removed screws of abnormal position into the stock section.
