PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-feeder type article aligning/transferring device capable of efficiently aligning/transferring articles. SOLUTION: Articles P transferred from an article supplying device to an article picking-up device 20 fall to a space S formed by cylindrical surfaces of respective rollers 23, 24 for staying of articles and move to respective article picking-up pipes 43 while their position is regulated by respective grooves 23b, 24b. Then, the respective rollers 23, 24 are vibrating to the left/right directions, which smoothly transfers the articles P along the respective grooves 23b, 24b to an inlet port of the respective article picking-up pipes 43. The respective rollers 23, 24 are rotating around rotational shafts R1, R2, which effectively solves overlapping of the articles P near the inlet port of the article picking-up pipes 43 and smoothly transfers the articles P to the inlet port of the article picking-up pipes 43. The articles P which have reached the inlet port of the article picking-up pipes 43 are picked up by a plurality of the article picking-up pipes 43 arranged between the respective rollers 23, 24 and are taken to the outside in the aligned condition in a plurality of rows through a plurality of coil-like tubes fixed to the respective article picking-up pipes 43.
