The present invention is intended to improve the component-supplying performance of a vibratory component transport device. A shape transition section (16) in which the cross-section shape changes smoothly is used for the portion of a chute (component transport member) (12) from the outlet of a rounded groove (14) provided on the upstream side of a transport path (13) to the inlet of an alignment/transport section (15) provided on the downstream side of the transport path (13), the cross-section shape of the shape transition section (16) changing smoothly in the component transport direction from the shape of the rounded groove (14) to the shape of the inlet of the alignment/transport section (15). The smooth change eliminates sudden drops between the outlet of the rounded groove (14) and the inlet of the alignment/transport section (15), and reduces the likelihood of change in orientation when a component (P) that properly oriented in the R groove (14) is transferred to the alignment/transport section (15). |
