To obtain a distributing device for a continuum of pouches, which stabilizes suction of the pouches by suction pads 20a (20b) with the whole structure simplified and can distribute the pouches simultaneously to a plurality of containers 60 by a single movement of a supporting frame 15 (16).
The supporting frame 15 (16) with a plurality of suction pads 20a (20b) mounted is laterally movably attached to a send-out side of a feeder 50 for sending out the continuum A of pouches including a plurality of pouches (a) containing contents coupled in a long line. The pouch which has been sent out is cut from the subsequent pouches while it is being sucked to the suction pad. Thereafter, the supporting frame 15 (16) is laterally moved until the next suction pad reaches the send-out position. This cycle is repeated the required number of times, thereby sucking the separated pouches to all of the suction pads. Then, the supporting frame 15 (16) is moved to the side of the containers 60 with the pouches sucked, where the vacuum of the suction pads is broken to distribute the pouches sucked to the respective pads to the containers 60.
