<p>An apparatus is disclosed wherein annular articles conveyed one by one to a chute member are successively transferred to a rail member connected to the chute member until a predetermined number of articles are lined up thereon, whereupon a row of holders prealigned above the individual articles are lowered and then lifted in unison, so that the holders pass through the apertures of the articles in their downward travel and in their upward travel they lift the articles in unison. The articles are held in position as a result of projectable members installed at the bottom ends of the holders being projected on upward movement of the holders. The above operation is repeated a plurality of times until each holder is loaded with a desired number of articles piled in a stack, the stacks of articles on the individual holders then being released together onto a table member, the latter being stepped each time it receives a row of stacks so that such articles are piled in a plurality of rows of stacks on the table member.</p> |
