PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fresh tea leaf feeding device with improved handleability executable even at a place where a side wall is close in which the entire length of a swing conveyor is made freely extendable and contractable. ;SOLUTION: On the upper part of a fresh tea leaf loading surface, a freely normally and reversely rotatable feeding conveyor 3 provided with a conveyor length which is about a half of a loading surface back and forth length to be moved to the front, back, left and right on the entire loading surface is provided. On the upper part of the feeding conveyor 3, the swing conveyor 6 whose sending end is held turnably and freely linearly movably to the left and right in the almost entire width on the loading surface and receiving end is freely turnably held is provided. On the upper part of the receiving end of the swing conveyor, the sending end 13 of the supply conveyor of fresh tea leaves is disposed. Further, the sending end of the swing conveyor 6 is made to follow up the movement in left and right directions of the feeding conveyor 3 and the entire length of the swing conveyor 6 is made freely extendable and contractible. Also, it is preferable to provide a truck 24 freely movable in back and forth directions on the feeding conveyor 3 and mount the tip part of the swing conveyor 6 onto the truck 24 in a freely turnable state.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1997,JPO
