Abstract:
To prevent an article from being stacked to be biased to one side in a chute, while reducing an operator's burden, in a chute mechanism.SOLUTION: A chute mechanism 5 comprises a chute 11 and a dispersion mechanism 13. The chute 11 is provided with a conveyance face for conveying an article W in a putout direction by feeding the article W. The dispersion mechanism 13 provided on an upper side of the conveyance face disperses the article W fed to the chute 11 in a width direction. The dispersion mechanism 13 arranged on the conveyance face so as to extend in the width direction of the chute 11 can come into contact with the article W. The dispersion mechanism 13, which is shorter than a width of the chute 11 and is tilted in a width direction of the chute 11, comprises a first end 31a, and a second end 31b located on a lower stream side in the putout direction of the chute 11 in relation to the first end 31a. In the dispersion mechanism 13, an inclination angle with respect to the width direction of at least a portion coming into contact with the article W by weight of the article W is changed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
