A system for supplying rod-shaped articles wherein a tray (A) formed at the top thereof with an opening, which has been carried in by an intermittently moving carrying truck (1) in a normally erected state, is moved in a turned over state and rod-shaped articles (B) in the tray (A) are dropped and supplied into a supply opening (C), thereafter, the tray (A) is moved in the turned over state, returned to the normally erected state, and carried out into a carrying truck (1') in the normally erected state. After the tray (A) is carried into a loaded tray turn-over mechanism (3) by a carry-in mechanism (2), thereafter, this load tray turn-over mechanism (3) is turned over, the tray (A) which has been turned over is held upside down directly above the supplying opening (C), whereby the supply of the rod-shaped articles (B) is started, and the supplying tray (A) is delivered to a vacant tray turn-over mechanism (5), whereby the loaded tray turn-over mechanism (3) is returned and reversed, so that the succeeding tray (A) can be carried in. |
