<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent soft articles from being damaged in such a case where the articles fed from a supply path and arranged in irregular directions, are transferred so as to be arranged in an article discharge direction. SOLUTION: An article delivering device includes an angle detecting means for detecting an angle with which the direction of an article W on a supply path 11 is turned with respect to a reference direction, and a relay device B being interposed between the supply path 11 and an article discharge part Pb, and being adapted to run, in a loop-like way, a plurality of receiving parts 83, 83 for successively receiving articles W at an article receiving position Pa on the supply path 11 and for holding them, and adapted to discharge articles W held by the receiving parts 83, 83, onto the article discharge part Pb. The receiving part 83 at the one of lines tangential to the loop-like locus, which is inclined by an angle the same as an angle detected by the angle detecting means 4, with respect to a reference direction, receives the article W whose angle is detected.</p> |
