ABSTRACT A bulk feeder for feeding electronic components one at a time into a lead forming machine or the like comprises a hopper and a chute for loading the components into the hopper. The hopper comprises a pair of oppositely disposed side walls, a back wall and a bottom wall. The side walls are spaced from one another a distance which is slightly greater than the length of the electronic components which are to be fed to the forming machine. The back wall is downwardly and forwardly inclined and the bottom wall is forwardly and upwardly inclined from the lower end of the back wall. The chute has a slipway channel which is shaped to axially align electronic components with the direction in which they slide down the chute. The chute also has a discharge end arranged to discharge the axially aligned components laterally of the hopper from a point adjacent a first side wall toward the other side wall so as to strike the other side wall at a point of contact adjacent the back wall such that the component will thereafter slide down the back wall to assume a position extending transversely of the hopper at the lower end of the back wall. A conveyor is mounted for movement along the bottom wall from the lower end of the back wall to a receiver for components. The conveyor is adapted to receive the transversely extending body portion of a component located at the lower end of the back wall to transport the components one at a time out of the hopper.
