PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a layer thickness of an article in a supply tank uniform by making the best use of a space in the supply tank. SOLUTION: A plurality of supply troughs 3 are aligned and arranged laterally in line at a bottom of an opening on a bottom face side of a tubular tank 2 at an interval of a predetermined height from an opening 33. An inverted-V-shaped sorting member 35A is fixed in parallel to the supply troughs 3. When measured articles W are supplied from a center part of the tank 2 by a supply bucket 34, the measured articles W are sorted to both end sides in the tank 2 by both inclined faces 35b, 35b of the sorting member 35A with a bent part 35a of the sorting member 35A as a boundary. The measured articles W go to both end sides without accumulating only at a center part in the tank 2, so that the layer thickness of the measured articles W in the tank 2 becomes nearly uniform.
