Abstract
A feeder magazine includes a ceiling portion, a bottom portion, and a back portion. Multiple support grooves are formed in the ceiling portion so as to extend in parallel to each other from an opening portion toward the back portion, and into which upper end portions of the feeders are detachably inserted. A flat surface is formed on the bottom portion so as to face the multiple support grooves of the ceiling portion, and multiple positioning portions that are disposed in the bottom portion respectively correspond to the multiple support grooves on an opening portion side of the flat surface and respectively engage with engaging portions formed on lower end portions of the feeders as the feeders are pushed from the opening portion toward the back portion.
