<p>A one-dimensional aligning and feeding unit (20, 20a) for use in aligning objects for one-dimensional transport, that aligns and subsequently guides objects to be transported (1) along a feed channel (2) extending in a one-dimensional direction, that has a hollow section (4), and which is provided with: a retaining tank (3) for objects to be transported that three-dimensionally retains, within the hollow section (4), a plurality of objects to be transported (1) while using air flow to stir the objects to be transported (1); an air pipe (5), provided on any surface of the retaining tank (3) for objects to be transported, that supplies air flow to the retaining tank (3) for objects to be transported; and a feed channel (2) provided on the side surface of the retaining tank (3) for objects to be transported, that extends at least in a one-dimensional direction, and that uses the air flow within the hollow section (4) of the retaining tank (3) for objects to be transported to align, guide, and feed the objects to be transported (1).</p> |
