PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an article supply device capable of supplying articles as collected articles having the attitude converted sideways by a conveyor of linear flow of articles. SOLUTION: In this article supply device, the predetermined number of articles W fed out from the conveyors 12, 12 aligned in two rows are pulled toward the center of conveyance of joining conveyors 16. The articles W fed out in vertical attitude from the convergence conveyors 16 are conveyed while a side part is abutted on a skewing part 28a of a deflection belt 28 and a front side of the head article W is abutted on a regulation member 36 moving at lower speed than the speed of a downward feeding belt 26, and their attitude is converted from the longitudinal attitude to the sideways attitude while they are pulled toward the center of conveyance of the conveyors in a process where a course of the article W is displaced at an inlet of an attitude conversion conveyor 24 in the order of arrival of the articles W. These articles W are fed onto a supply conveyor 40 as aligned articles W while their sideways attitude is maintained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
