CONSTITUTION:Articles being conveyed are received in a container 20 by turning an inclined chute 22 to the position shown by solid line. After the completion of the reception, the inclined chute 22 is moved to the position shown by dotted line while a chain is driven to move the container 20 and drop the articles from the container 20 onto an opening and closing shutter 26. This operation is repeated by a proper number of times to accumulate a predetermined amount of said articles on said shutter 26, then open the shutter 26 and displace the collected articles into a collecting section 30. And after said shutter 26 is closed, the collecting section 30 is got out of a tube portion 28. |
