摘要

A device for arranging in order a random supply of articles including a plurality of article orientating members (16, 17; 24a, 24b) movable relatively to each other. The members are spaced so that the articles, (A; B) when orientated, can drop between the members. The members may comprise intercalating elongate blades, alternate blades being arranged to move in unison relative to intermediate blades and means (37) may be provided for conveying the orientated articles from between the blades to a receiving station.
