ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for distributing disks includes a slide cutter member for dividing a row of stacked disks being conveyed at a continuous constant speed at every predetermined number thereof, one after another, to form cylindrical stacked bodies thereof. An inclined passage is positioned adjacent to and extending at substantially a right angle with respect to the conveying direction of said stacked disks. The inclined passage includes a lower portion being inclined upwardly to a forward end. The slide cutter supplies every cylindrical stacked body one after another to the inclined passage. A push-up member is provided for intermittently pushing upwards the cylindrical stacked bodies supplied one after another to the lower portion of the inclined passage. A holding member is provided for holding upwardly moved one or more cylindrical stacked bodies at an upper stage position on the lower portion of the inclined passage. The apparatus and method further includes a distributing member for distributing at least two of the cylindrical stacked bodies arranged in a row and in mutual parallel relationship on the inclined passage to a side portion of the inclined passage. Stacked bodies may be stored adjacent the forward end of the inclined passage. A feeder is provided for rolling down the spare cylindrical stacked bodies from the upper portion of the inclined passage when the supplying of the cylindrical stacked bodies to the lower portion of the inclined passage is stopped.
