PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To convey cylindrical bodies, each having a projecting portion, aligned in upright positions with their projecting portions oriented in a fixed direction. SOLUTION: This alignedly conveying device 40 is made by series-connecting a one-line supply part 42, a posture aligning part 44, and a posture hold conveying part 46. In the supply part 42, a single-swinging cartridge 34 is surely sent out by a rotary brush 64 of a rotary biasing means 62. In the posture aligning part 44, the cartridge 34 is once separated therefrom by two plates 70 and 72 vibrating at different frequencies or amplitudes and by a projection part 90, whereby the cartridge 34 is rotated anticlockwise while it is conveyed in a definite posture under the guidance of a referential guide member 74. In the conveying part 46, the cartridge 34 is prevented from being turned over or slanted by a guide action of a turn-over preventing auxiliary plate 112 and a pull-in action of a magnet 113, and is surely conveyed with the definite posture kept.
