PURPOSE: To continuously deal with product-contained small-sized glass bottles in a device for loading and unloading rack of a lyophilization tank, by collecting the glass bottles on a vibration table with the use of a turnable arm, and by introducing them onto a transfer table with the use of retractable flaps of an adjacent movable transfer frame.

CONSTITUTION: Glass bottles 5 are successively fed onto an upper tray 3 on a vibration table 2 through the intermediary of a conveyer or a screw 4. The glass bottles 5 are directed toward the center of the tray 3 by means a deflecting flap 6. Further, the glass bottles 5 collected on the tray 3, are arranged in parallel rows between guide angles 7 by turning a movable arm 8 by an angle of 90 deg. and are collected in a part connected to a carriage 1 arranged adjacent thereto. Then, a movable frame 11 is moved from the carriage 1 to the vibration table 2 so that the bottles are introduced onto the carriage 1 by means of retractable flaps 15, 16.
