PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To align and supply flat members at high speed by use of such a simple structure that it provides only continuous, rotational movement without providing intermittent reciprocating movement. SOLUTION: A magazine 12 accommodating a number of stacked flat members 11 is oriented sideways and the flat members are pressed toward the exit of the magazine by a pusher 13. The flat members are separated from one another and taken out of the magazine by use of at least one pair of screws 14 and 15 disposed respectively in upper and lower positions at the exit of the magazine and, with the flat member secured in the pitch between the blades 14a and 15a of a screw, the pitch of the blades is gradually increased to increase the pitch between the flat members so as to align and supply the flat members with predetermined pitches.
