[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, during the transportation of the instant noodles sequentially sent as described above, small bags of soup and condiments are sequentially distributed on the instant noodles from the small bag distributing machine, and each small bag is stacked on the instant noodles and transported to the packaging device. In this case, there are the following problems.

[0005] That is, sachets distributed and stacked on instant noodles are not only smaller than instant noodles, but also have various shapes such as powders and liquids, as well as various kinds of tools to be stored inside, so that their shapes are extremely inconvenient. As a result, the sachet is more likely to fall off than the instant noodles not only at the time of distributing and transporting the sachets, but also at the time of packaging via the packaging device 21.

Therefore, as means for preventing the small bags from falling off as described above, for example, the child bags 3a, 6a provided from the shooters 5, 5a provided in the small bag distributing machines 3, 6 are provided at the center thereof with the supply conveyor. The attachment 1a is once discharged onto the gutter-shaped child bag receiving and guiding guides 4, 7 having the attachment moving grooves 4a, 7a through which the attachment 1a can pass, and then the child bag 3a on the child bag receiving and guiding guides 4, 7 is provided. , 6a are held through the supply conveyor attachment 1a passing through the attachment movement grooves 4a, 7a one after another and are transferred in the moving direction of the supply conveyor attachment 1a. The sachets 3a and 6a are stacked on the instant noodle 2 by sequentially distributing them on the instant noodles 2 at the ends, or the sachets 3a and 6a stacked on the instant noodle 2 are pressed from above by the annular holding belt body 8. Packaging Although the dropping of the sachets 3a and 6a is reduced by transporting them to 21, they are basically still stacked because the sachets 3a and 6a, whose shapes are extremely unstable, are stacked on the instant noodles 2 and transported together. It did not reach the point where accidental dropping of sachets 3a and 6a was completely prevented.

However, the present invention relates to a case in which a packaged object such as instant noodles and an accessory such as a soup pouch attached to the packaged object are sequentially conveyed to a predetermined packaging device in correspondence with the packaged object. Even excellent packaged objects such as instant noodles that can completely prevent the attachments from falling off from the packaged object and can perform automatic packaging of the packaged object smoothly and efficiently.
