PURPOSE: To automatically draw a unit article to the outside of a carrier surface by drawing a first article of a following articles group fed to articles carried into superimposed form or continuous form by a carrier velocity base between front and rear and rear conveyer devices, via a gap forward and backward.
CONSTITUTION: Movement of drawing one thin unit article A is operated, and as the carrier velocity of a second conveyer device 2 and a third conveyer device 3 is increased by the activation of a controller, a fifth conveyer device 35 is started to drive. Only the second conveyer device 2 is decelerated, and before the superimposed or continuous articles A are shifted from the second conveyer device 2 to the third conveyer device 3, a gap forward and backward is formed. The gap is detected by sensors 40, 41, and the guide 32 of a drawing device 30 is elevated, and the first one of a following articles A group is carried to the fifth conveyer device 35. Since the guide 32 is already lowered, the articles A after the second one are carried to a fourth conveyer device.
