Abstract:
1. An aligning and supplying apparatus for mounting a conveyed article having different thickness and width and capable of being stably mounted by setting a thickness direction or a width direction to a vertical direction, respectively, comprising: a turn table in which a step portion having a predetermined height is provided along a peripheral edge of a mounting surface; a width guide crossing to said step portion in such a manner as to guide said conveyed article mounted on said mounting surface from a center side to an outer peripheral side due to a rotation of said turn table, having one end positioned at the center side of said turn table rather than said step portion and having another end protruding outward from the outer periphery of said step portion so as to be fixed; and a thickness gate arranged in an upper side of said conveyed article passing within said width guide on said turn table, and having a projection portion protruding toward said conveyed article so as to be capable of getting down said conveyed article in a high attitude on said step portion without getting down said conveyed article in a low attitude at a time when said conveyed article moving along said width guide due to the rotation of said turn table rides over said step portion.
