ABSTRACT:
A device for aligning rod-like matters, different in diameter at their heads and tails, in a direction while locating their heads forward in this direction. The device has a drum freely rotatable in a plane along the flow of the matters and provided with a groove on and along the circumference of the drum. The groove has a width larger than the diameter of the tails of the matters but smaller than that of the heads thereof. The matters transmitted onto the upper circumference portion of the drum are hung in the groove on the circumference of the drum. Keeping their heads hooked by both side rims of the groove and located upward while leaving their tails suspended in the groove. The device also has a feed-in conveyor system and a feed-out conveyor system. The feed-in conveyor system feeds the matters to the drum successively. The feed-out conveyor system receives the matters hung in the groove at the upper circumference portion of the drum in such a way that the tails of the matters hung in the groove are contacted at first with the feed-out conveyor system. The speed of the feed-out conveyor system is different from the peripheral speed of the drum.
