Abstract:
A parts feeder is provided which is designed to pick up parts carried by a strip carrier. The strip carrier is moved intermittently to a pickup station and has storage chambers arrayed in a lengthwise direction thereof. The storage chambers has openings and stores therein the parts each of which has formed on ends thereof electrodes having at least a magnetic portion. A magnet which has a non-pole face oriented to the strip carrier is disposed at the pickup station for magnetically keeping each of the parts in a desired orientation within one of the storage chambers.
Abstract:
A container having a plurality of orifices in an outer peripheral wall and having a space communicating with the orifices is rotated to extrude an electrically charged raw material liquid containing a polymer material from the space through the orifices by centrifugal force. This allows the electrically charged raw material liquid to form a fibrous material. At this time, the raw material liquid is supplied to the space in which the raw material liquid is filled by a raw material liquid pump so that the raw material liquid is extruded from the orifices at a predetermined pressure. That is, the raw material liquid in the space is pressurized. Also, the shape of the space in the container is set so that the centrifugal force exerted on the raw material liquid is constant.
