PURPOSE:To make it possible to certainly take out a carrier even if a large number of carriers are received at random while making it possible to efficiently receive said carriers even in a narrow space, by mounting a carrier take-out stand up and down moving between an oblique bottom part and a discharge part. CONSTITUTION:Because the bottom surface of a carrier storing container 1 is inclined spirally, stored carriers 10 are accumulated in the vicinity of the lower end 12b of said bottom surface 12. A carrier attachment stand 14 is moved up and down through a pinion 17, a rack 16 and an arm 15 by driving a motor 18. At first, when the stand 14 is positioned at the lower dead point thereof, the carrier placing surface 14a is matched with the lower end 12b of the bottom surface 12 and, therefore, plural carriers 10 are accumulated on the placing surface 14a. Next, when the stand 14 reaches the upper dead point thereof, the placing surfce 14a is matched with the upper end 12a of the bottom surface 12. At this time, the carriers 10 on the placing surface 14a are fallen on the bottom surface 12 except one contacted with a carrier engagement piece 14b because there is no contact surface. One carrier 10 left on the placing surface 14a is rolled into a transfer pipe 21 through the opening 20 formed to the side wall 19 of the container 1 and charged in a reaction tube 22. Therefore, a large number of carriers can be received with good efficiency. |
