1. A wire electrode supplying apparatus for a wire electric discharge machine, comprising:

  • a feeding section for feeding a wire electrode;

    a feeding-side guide section through which the wire electrode fed from said feeding section is passed through and which is adapted to constrain the direction of movement of the wire electrode;

    a receiving-side guide section for guiding the wire electrode, said receiving-side guide section being disposed in such a manner as to oppose said feeding-side guide section, and the wire electrode fed from said feeding-side guide section being passed through said receiving-side guide section;

    a feeding amount detecting means for detecting an amount of the wire electrode fed from said feeding section;

    a jet nozzle for constraining the direction of movement, toward said receiving-side guide section, of the wire electrode fed from said feeding-side guide section, as a jet of working fluid flows toward said receiving-side guide section; and

    control means for controlling the supply of the jet to said jet nozzle in correspondence with the detected result of said feeding amount detecting means.
