Apparatus for delivering components (2) to be machined one at a time comprising a rotatable shaft (1) and a retaining member (3) between which is received a stack of the said components (2), the shaft (1) having upper and lower projecting parts (8, 10) which project radially outwardly but do not overlap one another in the vertical direction; and a receptacle (11) to receive a component (2); the arrangement being such that the shaft (1) in a first position supports the stack by means of lower projecting part (10), and in a second position the first component is no longer supported by the lower projecting part (10) and therefore falls into the receptacle (11) while the remainder of the stack is supported by the upper surface of the upper projecting part (8). |
