PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conveyor capable of orienting and conveying small parts without troubles. SOLUTION: The conveyor 1 for orienting and feeding small parts such as studs, pins and screws has a platform elevator conveying mechanism 3 on one side of an inclined collecting surface 6 that feeds small parts to a conveying trough 4 at a higher elevation. The conveying trough 4 has a horizontal stationary storage platform 10 and a movable pivoting platform 11 that can pivot about an axis located at a delivery end of the conveying trough, between a position parallel to the storage platform 10 and a position inclined to the horizontal. The storage platform 10 is adjacent to the platform elevator conveying mechanism 3 and has a storage surface 12 inclined downward toward the pivoting platform 11, and the pivoting platform 11 opens at a top part and has a hollow throat adjacent to the edge 12 of the storage platform.
