PURPOSE: To discharge tableware on a tray to a trough by forming steps on the charging side and discharging side of a transporting endless belt, disposing reversing rods at the steps, and reversing a lower tray which goes out of a charging part and reaches a discharging part with the reversing rod.

CONSTITUTION: Transporting endless belts 21, 22 are set at charging parts 21a, 22a and discharging parts which is lower than the charging parts, and a lower tray is supported in a horizontal direction over the whole transportation to transport the tray. Reversing rods 41, 42 are installed horizontally at the steps 21c, 22c. When the lower tray transported over the charging parts 21a, 22a goes beyond the steps 21c, 22c and are placed at the reversing rods 41, 42, it is inclined to the side of a trough installed along the belts 21, 22 by its own weight. As a result, the tableware on the tray is slid down into the trough. The tray is discharged by the belts 21b, 22b again.
