Abstract (en)
A circular-arc shaped movable conveyor (3) is horizontally turned along a circular-arc orbital path of a stationary conveyor (5) according to the difference between he feeding-in amount from feeding-in port (2) to the movable conveyor (3) and the feeding-out amount from the stationary conveyor (5) to a feeding-out port (6). Thus, the capacities of an upper compartment (3') on the movable conveyor (3) and a lower compartment (5) on the stationary conveyor (5) are increased and decreased,so that the imbalance between the demand to a post-processing machine (B) and the supply from a pre-processing machine (A) can be adjusted. Furthermore, the rod-shaped articles (T) are fed from he feeding-in port (2) to the feeding-out port (6) while sequentially passing through the upper compartment (3') and the lower compartment (5'). <IMAGE>
