Abstract
A loading device including a frame, a stopper provided along the path through which the products are fed to the predetermined location, a threaded column supported in the frame and rotating in such a manner that the upper surfaces of the threads thereof move clockwise in a direction toward the stopper, a motor rotating the threaded column, and a conveyer supplying the product to the threaded column in such a manner that the product is engaged with the portion between the screw threads. The threaded column has external screw threads turning in a direction toward the predetermined location when the threaded column rotates. The portion between the screw threads receives the product to urge the product along by frictional force from the rotation of the threaded column until the end of the product butts against the stopper. This portion also feeds the product to the predetermined location while urging the end of the product against the stopper.
