(About 95 grams) is sequentially received by each hook 46, and a group of linear objects w (for example, about 10 to 15 grams for somen) as a deficient amount that the metering and feeding device 2 sends out during the transportation. ) Is received by the hook 46 that supports the linear body group w corresponding to this deficiency, and the linear body group w that has been finally determined as an accurate division amount is conveyed by each hook 46 to the conveyance end p1. It will be done.

Reference numeral 47 denotes a take-out device which is a part of the conveying device 3 and is similar to the take-out device 10 described above (however, there is no one corresponding to the guide plate 23). The transport device 3 includes an inclined plate 48 for supporting the linear body group w conveyed by the hook 46, and a regulating plate device 49 for collecting the linear body group w sliding on the upper surface of the hook 46 and falling.

[0035]

According to the present invention described above, since a certain amount of the linear body group is accommodated in each depression of the measuring roll and divided into the linear body group for each depression, It is possible to easily and inexpensively perform the division processing of the body group at a high speed. For example, the division processing of an amount approximate to the final one unit linear body group is performed at intervals of about 1 second or shorter. This makes it possible to operate in a short period of time, which allows the binding device that operates at high speed to operate effectively, and contributes greatly to the improvement of production efficiency, especially in the field of manufacturing somen, udon, kishimen, etc. It is possible.

According to the continuous weight measuring / dividing device of the fourth aspect, the quantitative division according to the first aspect performs the dividing process for each linear body group in an amount slightly short of the final one unit linear body group. The weight of the divided linear body group is actually measured by the device and the remaining slight deficiency is calculated, and this deficiency is measured and replenished by the weighing and feeding device. Since the supply device can generally process at a high speed in order to weigh a slight shortage of linear bodies,
Thus, it becomes possible to perform the division processing for each fixed amount of linear body group by the weight measurement at high speed and with high accuracy.
