To provide a link feeder with a wide variety of applications.
A charging chute 1, a discharge chute 3 and a driving unit case 4 are connected to each other with a pipe 5, an endless wire 21 is penetrated into a through hole provided at a position with an equal distance in three directions from the center of a large number of plates 17 having a diameter approximating the inner diameter of the pipe 5, and each soft sleeve spacer through which the endless wire 21 is penetrated is interposed between each of the plates 17. Between one end of each of these spacers and each of the plates 17, each sleeve fixed to the endless wire 21 is interposed, pairs of sprockets around which chains with claws 28A and 28B abutting both ends of each of the plates 17 are wrapped are supported at both ends of a moving zone of each of the plates 17 in the driving unit case 4, and to the driving sprockets in these sprockets, driving units for synchronously driving them are connected.
