Abstract An automatic apparatus for supplying shaft-like materials to a processing machine having an insertion hole for the materials. The apparatus comprises an inclined table for queuing and supporting the materials thereon in parallel with the insertion hole of the processing machine, a lifting means provided at the lower end of the queuing table for lifting the materials one at a time, the lifting means serving also as a stopper for preventing the materials on the queuing table from dropping, a turnable chuck means for fetching the material on the lifting means, a driving means for turning the chuck means, and an insertion means for inserting the material held by the chuck means into the insertion hole of the processing machine. The chuck means is turnable from a first position in which the material is held by the chuck means coaxially with the insertion hole to a second position in which the chuck means locates just above the material lifted by the lifting means.

An automatic apparatus for supplying shaft-like materials to a processing machine having an insertion hole for the materials, said apparatus comprising an inclined table for queuing and supporting the materials in parallel with the insertion hole of the processing machine, a means provided at the lower end of said queuing table for lifting the materials one at a time and for preventing the materials on said queuing table from dropping, a chuck means slidable toward and away from the processing machine and turnable from a first position to a second position so as to fetch the material on said lifting means, said first position being where said chuck means holds the material coaxially with the insertion hole of the processing machine, said second position being where said chuck means locates just above the material lifted by said means for lifting the material, a driving means for reciprocally driving said chuck means from the first position to the second position, and an insertion means for inserting the material held by said chuck means at the first position thereof into the insertion hole of the processing machine synchronously with the movement of the chuck means toward the processing machine.
