PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an article supplying device capable of supplying articles at predetermined position, intervals and attitude. SOLUTION: Fruits/vegetables A discharged from a cargo-receiving conveyer 2 are positively moved (centered) to the central part of a carrying passage by rotating supporting rollers 6 arranged in a reversed truncated cheveron shape to the carrying direction. The fruits/vegetables A transported in a stacked or gathered condition are dispersed longitudinally so as to be aligned and centered. The supporting rollers 6 of a terminal end side are rotated faster than the supporting rollers 6 of a starting end side and an intermediate part in order to carry the aligned fruits/vegetables A at accelerated speed toward the carrying direction. The fruits/vegetables A are separated longitudinally and transferred between receiving rollers 3a of a classifying conveyer 3. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
