PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an alignment carrier with a simple structure capable of carrying carried objects having various sizes and shapes with aligning the objects in a line at prescribed intervals. SOLUTION: This alignment carrier comprises first carrying means 3 and second carrying means 4. The first carrying means 3 has plural tapered carrier rollers 8 and a roller drive means 24, while an axis of each the carrier roller 8 is disposed aslant to a carrying direction and is disposed such that highest positions of the peripheral faces of the respective carrier rollers 8 are located in a nearly equal horizontal plane to form a roller carrier face 17. The second carrying means 4 has a carrier belt 28 and a belt drive means 37, while a belt carrier face 33 is vertically extendedly provided above the side of the roller carrier face 17 along the carrying direction on the large-diameter part side of the carrier roller 8. A peripheral speed on the large-diameter side of the carrier roller 8 of the first carrying means 3 is set to a nearly same speed as a peripheral speed of the carrier belt 28 of the second carrying means 4.
