The swing guide rod 12 swings between a horizontal position and an upper swing position around an intermediate position 15 thereof, and a good conveyed product 5 is sent close to a defective conveyed product 5. Also, the non-defective article to be conveyed 5 is guided by the fixed guide bar 11, and when the above-mentioned rocking guide bar 12 returns to the horizontal position, it is guided to the tip end of the rocking guide bar 12 and the non-defective article carrying belt. Sent to 3. If the rear part of the rocking guide rod 12 is raised upward, that is, the tip end portion of the rocking guide rod 12 is lowered, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure, When the next non-defective transferred object 5 is conveyed in close proximity, when the rocking guide bar 12 returns to its original position, the non-defective transferred object 5 is sandwiched between the fixed guide bar and the rocking guide bar 12. I will get out. As shown in FIG. 1, the roller causes the tip end portion of the rocking guide rod 12 to rotate upward, that is, in the counterclockwise direction, so that the rear side portion of the rocking guide rod 12 is fixed. Even if the non-defective transferred object 5 is positioned below the guide, the non-defective transferred object 5 is guided by the fixed guide bar 11. Therefore, when the non-defective transferred object 5 reaches the vicinity of the tip of the swing guide bar 12, the swing guide is moved. If the rod 12 is returned to the horizontal position, the non-defective article to be conveyed 5 is sent out onto the non-defective article conveyance belt 3. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the conveyance interval of the objects to be conveyed 5 and to quickly and quickly select good products from defective products. Further, a collated sheet such as a calender has a predetermined length in the conveying direction, and while being fed out by the conveying rollers 9 and 10, its tip end portion is guided by the front portion of the swing guide rod 12. Even if the swing guide bar 12 is not completely in the horizontal position, it can be elastically deformed and guided.
