Abstract
An orientation regularizing apparatus for a lens-fitted photo film unit aligns the unit in one line in a conveying direction. The unit is conveyed in an erect position in one of four orientations. The apparatus discriminates the particular unit's orientation. The unit is guided to one of four conveying paths that correspond to the four orientations. In the second path, the unit is turned over to exchange the front and rear surfaces with one another, placing the unit regularly in a first orientation. In the third path, the unit is turned over to exchange the top and bottom surfaces with one another and to exchange the front and rear surfaces with one another, setting the unit regularly in the first orientation. In the fourth path, the unit is turned over to exchange the top and bottom surfaces with one another, setting the unit regularly in the first orientation.
