ABSTRACT:
An entrance opening, i.e., the upper end of an orientation passage, is open in the bottom of a hopper, and the upper portion of the orientation passage is tapered. A pair of entrance agitator rollers are located on the opposite sides of the entrance opening of the orientation passage, and a central agitator roller is located above the entrance agitator rollers. A rotating mechanism rotates the agitator rollers such that the entrance agitator rollers are rotated in the same direction and the central agitator roller is rotated in the direction opposite to the rotating direction of the entrance agitator rollers. The rod-like objects in the hopper are set in the floated condition by the agitator rollers, and are fed into the orientation passage reliably and smoothly.
