PURPOSE: To line up electronic parts by their own weight, readily and securely by a method wherein a receiver with a V-form blade is installed at the foremost portion of a device for lining up and shifting electronic parts and the electronic parts attracted by a attracter are loaded into this receiver.

CONSTITUTION: When electronic parts 1 in a container with a number of the electronic parts 1 such as small cylinderical porcelain capacitors are supplied to a line- up and shift device 3, one part or a plurality of parts 1 are attracted by operating an attracting part 11. Then, after an air cylinder 16 is expanded and the attracting part 11 is pushed up to an intended height through an arm 15, an air cylinder 18 is contracted and the attracting part 11 is moved to the upper part of a receiver 4. At this place the parts 1 are released from attraction by the adsorbing prt 11, dropped and guided to a trough 27 through inclined blades 28, 29 of the receiver. At this time, secure approach of the parts 1 to the trough 27 is carried out reciprocating a rack 9 by a driving gear 10 and oscillating the receiver 4.
