ABSTRACT:
An object distributing and supplying method, comprising a step of receiving ball-like objects supplied in a bulk from a preceding process line by a wide receiving part formed by starting end parts of a plurality of curved conveyors adjacently connected with each other, a step of distributing the objects into a plurality of separated rows in a curved line, and a step of conveying each of the rows of objects in a streamline into respective downstream apparatuses. The apparatus therefore comprises an object distributing and supplying apparatus, comprising a plurality of conveyors running curvilinearly in a predetermined direction and each conveying at least a row of ball-like objects in the running direction of the conveyors, with starting end parts of the conveyors being connected together adjacently and in parallel with each other to form a wide receiving part for receiving the objects in bulk, and the conveyors being increasingly spaced between them as they are more remote from the wide receiving part, and connected to downstream apparatuses respectively with their terminating end parts in parallel with each other, so as to distribute and supply the objects in rows to the downstream apparatuses respectively.
