The apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is an apparatus interposed between the drying apparatus and the packaging apparatus in order to pack the noodles while removing the hanging bar 4 from such a state.

[0013] In this hanging bar noodle packaging conveyor device, the hanging bar noodles are sent from a drying device, which is not shown in FIGS. Waiting for set in state. There is a claw conveyor 2 for catching the noodle bar at the tip at a predetermined interval in the vicinity of the bar ramp 1, and an alignment conveyor 3 consisting of a flat belt conveyor of noodles moving in synchronization with the nail bar noodles in the same direction. Being parallel.

The claw conveyor 2 is a belt 2a stretched from the lower part of the hanging bar slope 1 to the front end by pulleys 11a, 12 and 13.
Are provided with claws 2b at predetermined intervals. The hanging bar is hooked on the claw 2b, and the entire hanging bar noodle is placed on the alignment conveyor 3 so as to be horizontal. The vicinity of the tip of the hanging bar slope 1 is shown in detail in FIG. 3, but a stopper 21 is provided for capturing the hanging bar noodles until the claw conveyor 2 captures the hanging bar noodles.
The stopper 21 is provided with an L-shaped rotating arm 30 for holding a hook-shaped piece.
However, a swing arm 32 which can swing by a cam 31 and an L-shaped rotating arm 30 are connected by a connecting rod 33, and the rotation of the cam shaft 34 synchronized with the claw conveyor 2 causes the hook noodles to be clawed. The hanging stick noodles are captured until the conveyor 2 captures them. This stopper only needs to have a function of capturing the hanging bar noodles until the nail conveyor 2 captures the hanging bar noodles, so that other mechanisms, for example, the stopper pieces are electrically controlled. It may be operated with a cylinder or solenoid operated.

In order to simultaneously operate a separation stopper 37 for feeding hanging bar noodles one by one in the direction of the claw conveyor 2 on the swing arm 32, a connecting rod is provided between the swing arm 32 and the swing arm 35 holding the separation stopper 37.
