Button attachment member conveying device

A button fastener transfer device for transferring a metallic fastener to a button attachment section, in which a button member is to be attached to a fabric with the fastener, the fastener comprising an annular base and a plurality of legs, which extend from the base and are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the base, the device comprising:

• a transfer path for passing the fastener with the base down;
• a movable member movable in the transfer path for moving the fastener downstream in the transfer path;
• a rotation applying part capable of contacting the fastener moving in the transfer path and configured to rotate the fastener in the circumferential direction of the base;
• at least one first conductive member and at least one second conductive member, which are normally electrically isolated from each other;
• a detection part configured to detect a non-normal fastener having at least one non-normal leg bent radially outward non-normally;
• and
• an energization mechanism configured to cause an electric current to flow between the first conductive member and the second conductive member if the detection part detects the non-normal fastener.
