ANNULAR OBJECT ALIGNMENT DEVICE AND METHOD AS WELL AS ANNULAR OBJECT COUNTING DEVICE USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an annular object alignment device for aligning annular objects in one line without allowing them to overlap with one another after a group of the annular objects is set to two shafts, and count the objects accurately by using the same. SOLUTION: This annular object counting device is an annular object alignment device 2 for aligning the group of the annular objects 13 by rotating after the objects are set to the two shafts. One of the two shafts capable of changing the distance between the two functions as a drive shaft 11 and the other as non-rotatable shaft 12. The drive shaft 11 makes the annular objects 13 hooked on it follow the rotation of the shaft 11 when being rotated, and the other shaft 12 is composed of a material allowing the annual objects to easily slip on the surface.
