ABSTRACT:
A component-orienting apparatus provided with a plurality of parallel orienting passages for aligning a plurality of components such as rectangular-parallelopipedic electronic component chips in the same orientation as each other. Each of the orienting passages comprises a receiving portion provided with a first space defined by an upwardly-taperingly-opening first inner peripheral surface and an aligning passage having a cylindrical second inner peripheral surface defining a second space that communicates with the lower end of the first space. The aligning passage is selected to have sectional geometry which rejects the longitudinal dimension of each component but crosswisely and perpendicularly orients the component in prescribed directions respectively. The first inner peripheral surface is continuous with the second inner peripheral surface through a rounded face.
