<p>In order to convey thin, long and relatively fragile sticks (1) one after another successively in which those too long are trimmed short and those too short are eliminated so that sticks substantially uniform in length can be conveyed to the next step without fail in (1) a device having an endless belt (1) or the like with a multiplicity of grooves (3) capable of accommodating the stick (1) but shorter than the stick (1) and perpendicular to the belt's advancing direction, a guide (5) having introducer (4) after where the stick (1) is fed and a limiter (6) or an opposed guide (7) opposite to the guide (5); (2) a device having the aforementioned belt (8) or the like, guide (5), limiter (6) or opposed guide (7) and a guide plate disposed in front thereof apart from or in contact with the limiter or the opposed guide; and (3) a device having the aforementioned belt (2) or the like, guide (5), opposed guide (7), deterrent plate (8) above the guide, horizontal air blow (9) near the last end of the guide and a pressing member (16) behind the horizontal air blow (9) at a position opposite thereto. <IMAGE></p> |
