PURPOSE: To feed rapidly a work by a simple operation without damaging the work, by combining a rotating operation and a sliding operation in the axial line direction of a carrying table assembly.

CONSTITUTION: When working of a part is completed, a work 23 fixed on a table 17 is retreated to an escaping position (a position shown by an alternate long and two short dashes line) by rotating a carrying table assembly 16 by θ degrees. Then, it is moved by a pitch in the axial line direction and returned to a working position, and sent simply to the working position of the next part. Thus, this work feeding mechanism is simple in constitution and a load of weight applied to the worker is eliminated.
