In a metal molding machine provided having a tilt to a clamping device with an injection unit which is constituted by a liquid metallic material reservoir in which a cylinder having a nozzle portion at the tip portion equipped with a heating device at the outer periphery and an injection plunger having advance or retreat freely in the inside, and the injection cylinder at the rear portion, the metallic material feeding to the above liquid metallic material reservoir is performed in liquid by melt to the temperature of above the liquidus temperature in a melting cylinder standing the liquid metallic material reservoir to liquid metallic material surface from a feeding pipe having a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the cylinder. The melting and feeding of metallic material is performed at an atmosphere of an inert gas such as argon.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for feeding a short column shape solid form metallic material by melt to the metal molding machine, wherein: the metal molding machine comprises a clamping device and an injection unit, the injection unit comprising a liquid metallic material reservoir comprising a cylinder, a nozzle member at a tip portion of the cylinder, a material feeding gate at an upper portion of the cylinder, a metering chamber at the tip portion of the cylinder, a heating means at an outer periphery, and an injection plunger in the inside of the cylinder having an injection head insertable into the metering chamber so as to advance or retreat freely, respectively, and an injection cylinder provided in the rear portion of the liquid metallic material reservoir, and the injection unit is provided having a tilt toward the clamping device; said apparatus comprising a melting cylinder configured to conform to and melt the short column shape solid form metallic material, said melting cylinder including a feeding pipe having a smaller size diameter than inner diameter of the melting cylinder at a lower portion of the melting cylinder disposed to feed the molten metallic material into the liquid metallic material reservoir, a heating means at an outer periphery of the melting cylinder, and a feeding cylinder including a feeding gate, connected lengthways in axial alignment with a top end of the melting cylinder and configured to conform to and feed the short column shape solid form metallic material; and the apparatus stands on the liquid metallic material reservoir with the feeding pipe facing downward. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said feeding cylinder further includes a thrust cylinder at the top portion of the feeding cylinder and a plunger of the thrust cylinder is inserted into the feeding cylinder. 3. The apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising a feeding pipe for feeding an inert gas to a space between the lower portion of the melting cylinder and an upper surface of liquid metallic material in the liquid metallic material reservoir and for feeding an inert gas to an upper space on the melting cylinder. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a feeding pipe for feeding an inert gas to a space between the lower portion of the melting cylinder and an upper surface of liquid metallic material in the liquid metallic material reservoir and for feeding an inert gas to an upper space on the melting cylinder.
