PURPOSE: To group many kinds of discs into each class and store same in an orderly way by providing many inclined V-trough storing shelves for receiving material discs which have been stamped by a press and continuously fed therefrom.
CONSTITUTION: A disc 2 stamped by a press 1 is fed into an inclined moving path 4 by a carry-out conveyer 3, and the disc 2 is moved by its dead load in the inclined moving path 4 to fall down from a dropping hole 6 and aligned in an erect posture in a V-trough 7. The V-trough 7 is placed on an inserting machine 9 by a crane, to be inserted into an assigned inclined V-trough storing shelf 10 by the inserting machine 9. The inclined V-trough storing shelf 10 is adapted to force a disc to slide by its dead load, and the inclined trough has a V-shaped section capable of truing up the side of the disc, whereby the equipment can be used in spite of a change in the diameter of a disc. Many kinds of discs can be grouped into each class and stored in an orderly way by providing a lot of such inclined V-trough storing shelves.
