<p>An aligning and supplying apparatus (1) comprises a container (2) to store screws, a chute which gets in the container (2) and is formed on the top surface thereof with a groove (3) having a smaller width than the diameter of the screw head so as to receive the screw shank, means for relatively moving the container and the chute between a first position where the bottom surface of the container and the top surface of the chute meet and second position where the top surface of the chute rises to a predetermined height from the bottom surface of the container, and a first air nozzle (14) which is positioned so as to face towards the top surface of the chute and blows off a screw (23) fallen without getting into the groove of the chute. The screw shank is received into the chute groove when the apparatus is in the first position and the screw (23) which lies fallen on the top surface of the chute is blown off, leaving screws aligned in a row in the groove (3). Thus, the screws stand in a row in the chute. <IMAGE></p> |
