PURPOSE: To smoothly and stably perform continuous supply of fixed quantity by providing a quantity measuring cup to be arranged between an upper guide plate connected to the delivery port of a hopper and a bottom guide plate connected to the supply port and moving the cup between the delivery port and a discharge port.
CONSTITUTION: When a quantity measuring cup 12 is positioned in a delivery port 3 of a hopper 1, the cup 12 is charged in its inside with a granule F from the hopper 1. Next the quantity measuring cup 12, when a shaft 11 is rotated, moves to a supply port 5 in a condition that the cup 12 is filled with the granule F. Here an inverting plate 10 plays a role of shutter, preventing the granule F in the hopper 1 from dropping down. The granule F in the quantity measuring cup 12 is discharged into the supply port 5. While another quantity measuring cup 13 is aligned with the delivery port 3, performing similar operation. Thus continuous supply can be smoothly attained.
