能率アップを図ることができる。According to the present invention, an appropriate number of the long objects placed on the long object carrier are temporarily lifted to an appropriate height, or are placed on the long object carrier. Since a pair of holding frames are locked to the front and rear ends of each long object and held in a horizontal position, it is not possible to adsorb and hold a proper number of cucumbers as in the conventional method, and each cucumber is not used. Can be prevented from dropping off on the way, and the work of appropriately packing each long object in a box can be performed quickly and reliably. In addition, since the appropriate number of long objects are collectively held and packed in a box, the labor and work of packing many long objects one by one by hand can be omitted.
The time required for the box packing operation can be reduced, and labor can be saved and the efficiency can be improved.

The holding frames 38, 38 of the front and rear rows are inserted into the front and rear end portions of the cucumbers K, placed on the concave placement portions 59b, of the alignment conveyors 59, 59, respectively. Since the holding frames 38, 38 in the front and rear rows are locked and held in the horizontal posture, respectively, the operation of packing the 18 cucumbers K in a box can be performed quickly and reliably as in the first embodiment. In addition, the labor and work of placing each cucumber K on the alignment tray T as shown in the first and second embodiments can be omitted, the configuration of the entire apparatus can be simplified, and the efficiency of the box packing operation can be improved. Can be achieved.
