PURPOSE:To prevent articles from forming a bridge so as to make smooth to separate and take out the article, by forming a taking-out port of a container for storing spherical articles or the like into a size so that a plurality of such articles may be juxtapsed, and rotating a drum having an article receiving section in the outer circumferential surface thereof in slidable contact with the taking-out port so that the articles may be received one at a time. CONSTITUTION:When a drum 6 is rotated in a direction shown by an arrow, the article receiving section 8 in the drum 6 will be positioned to face a taking- out port 5. Then one of juxtaposed articles 2 stored in a storing container 1 and positioned adjacent the taking-out port 5 is allowed to drop into the receiving section 8 so that the only one is separated. Then when the drum 6 is further rotated, the article is released into a discharging port 10. In this arrangement, the articles 2 in contact with the drum 6 will be spun a little by the rotation of the drum 6, and also due to the drop of the article 2 into the receiving section 8, vertical vibrations occur to the article 2 in the container 1, so that the articles 2 are allowed to drop to the taking-out port 5 and are rearranged positively. Thus, bridging can be prevented from occurring, and the taking-out can be performed smoothly. |
