PURPOSE:To convey numbers of cylindrical body arrays almost continuously and to realize high-throughout inspection by allowing a pusher for introduction to cooperate with a least two pushers for conveyance with push and feed cylindrical body arrays by turns. CONSTITUTION:The pusher 8 for introduction pushes cylindrical body arrays 3A out of a loader tray 7 into a conveyance path in sequence. The press-feeding operation is performed by two pushers 10 and 11 for conveyance alternately. For example, when some cylindrical body array 3A is pushed and conveyed by one pusher 10, another cylindrical body array 3A which is introduced next is fed by the other pusher 11. When the pushers 10 and 11 push and convey the cylindrical body array 3A up to the end of the conveyance path, their arm parts 10d and 11d are switched to the 2nd positions and they are returned to the starting end of the conveyance path in this state. Thus, cylindrical body arrans 3A are pushed and conveyed alternately and repeatedly by the two pushers 10 and 11 for conveyance, so that numbers of cylindrical body arrays 3A are conveyed almost continuously without stagnation. |
