PURPOSE:To improve operational efficiency by alternately supplying a plurality kinds of spherical articles from a hopper having spherical article supply ports, by rotating a rotor having a plurality of receiving recesses corresponding to the supply ports and formed at a predetermined angle in the peripheral direction, to the receiving recesses. CONSTITUTION:Two kinds of balls 16, 17 separately received by inlets 20, 21 drop one by one into supply ports 18, 19 and are aligned. Then, a manually operating handle 34 connected to one end of a rotary shaft 24 is turned in the direction of the arrow to rotate a rotor 13 within a housing 22. Thus, a ball 16 from the supply port 18 is received by a receiving recess 27 on the rotor 13, and further rotation of the rotor 13 makes the other recess 28 receive a ball 17 from the supply port 19 and, at this time, the ball 16 drops into a through hole 35. Rotation of the rotor 13 repeats this operation to supply the balls 16, 17 in an alternately aligned manner. This is effective to improve efficiency. |
