PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To change the flow of beads comprising a plurality of streams of beads, which are arranged apart from each other along the first circular arc with the first radius into the flow of beads comprising one arched stream of beads, which parallels the second circular arc with the second radius.SOLUTION: A method of feeding beads includes a step in which beads (2) are fed to guide rooms (22, 22' and 22") which are made in a cross over region between guide grooves (5A and 5B) in the first guide plates (5 and 5') and guide grooves (6A, 6B and 6C) in the second plates (6 and 6'); a step in which the first guide plate is rotated to the second guide plate to thereby shift the guide rooms (22, 22' and 22") so that the distance from the guide rooms (22, 22' and 22") to the rotating shaft of first and second guide plates may change; and a step in which the beads are carried from the guide rooms (22, 22' and 22") to outfeeding pockets (21 and 21'). |
