PURPOSE:To aim at continuous production for a conveyed article even at time of a halt of a conveying device at the next stage, by transferring the conveyed article to be delivered out of a conveying passage to the next stage conveying device via a temporary housing shutter having an on-off mechanism. CONSTITUTION:A product W to be fed out of a conveying passage 1 is fed to a container C at the next stage via a shutter 2 and conveyed. This shutter 2 consists of a frame body 3 and a shutter plate 4 installed free of slide motion to this frame body 3, and it is opened or closed when this shutter plate 4 is slidden by a cylinder 5. And, it is so constituted as to make the specified number of products W stowable temporarily on the shutter plate 4 in a state of being closed. When the container C is intermittently fed and the container becoming fullness in quantity is replaced with a succeeding empty container, this shutter plate 4 is closed, and after the container comes to a receiving position, the shutter is opened whereby production of the product W is not required to stop, so that productivity is improved.
