Abstract
Disclosed is a nail feeding device of a nail rolling machine. Unlike a conventional nail rolling machine in which a finger is used to input (feed) objects to be processed, i.e. nails into a rolling zone defined between a ring dies and a segment dies one by one, thus having low productivity, the nail feeding device includes a worm screw to accurately and rapidly input nails into the rolling zone one by one to ensure successful rolling of the nails, which results in a considerable enhancement in productivity and quality.
