PURPOSE:To realign headed needle-like parts so as to align all of them by providing an electromagnet for attracting only unaligned parts which have been fed in an aligned condition. CONSTITUTION:When headed needle-like parts 12' which are unaligned with each other come to a position just below an electromagnet M, and only one 12 of them which is hanged is conveyed forward. If a detector 14 detects such that the unaligned headed needle-like parts 12' which are substantially horizontal are attracted by an attracter 8 of the magnet M, current running through a coil 16 in the electromagnet M is cut off after set time elapses from the time of the detection, and accordingly, the magnetic attracting force of the electro magnet M is instantly extinguished. With this arrangement, the headed needle- like parts 12' having been attracted by the attracter 8 are dropped onto a hang ing chute 4 just below thereof so as to be realigned, and they are therefore conveyed forward.
