Feeding device for high speed nut formers
 A feeding device for a high speed nut former machine is disclosed having a mechanism mounted on the machine and attached to a feeding plate capable of advancing in a linear fashion and returning in a motion in which the feeding plate is removed from a guide path. The feeding plate has a plurality of indentations of a configuration suitable for holding and conveying the nut blanks being formed along the guide path defined by guide plates between successive nut blank forming dies due to the motion of the mechanism attached to the feeding plate by causing the indentations to mesh with the blanks and to convey the blanks forward in a linear fashion, to next leave the feeding path, and to then return to the original position. In this manner, nut blanks are successively fed in an intermittent fashion from one die to the next in a plurality of steps.
