The sorting and alignment of welding nuts are conducted with stability regardless of a variation in number while implementing lower noise. A charging shoot (2) is provided on its end of obliquely downward slope with a nut-storing part (23), and a face plate (6) facing obliquely upward is disposed in a tilted position so as to define the nut-storing part. The face plate (6) is formed with stainless steel of non-magnetic material. Permanent magnet (7) is provided on the back of the face plate so as to move on a specific rotational locus, and moved in rotation by a motor. A posture shift guide (11) is disposed on the front face of the face plate (6) and a specific circumference corresponding to the specific locus to shift welding nuts (N) attracted by the permanent magnet (7) into their lying postures. Out of the welding nuts in their lying postures, the ones each with its base in opposition to the face plate is flipped by a regulating block (12) to be dropped in the nut-storing part, while only the ones each with its top face in opposition to the face plate is allowed to pass into an alignment and feed guide (13), after which they are sequentially stored in aligned positions in an alignment and feed guide (13) to be fed to a nut feeding equipment. <IMAGE> |
