2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-170334 discloses
Disclosed is an apparatus including a disk-shaped holder that is provided with a plurality of mounting portions evenly along a virtual circle and rotates about a rotation axis. One end of the rod is inserted into the mounting portion so that the rod is circumferentially arranged on a disc-shaped holder.
The other end of the rod for suspending the loop is not supported at all, so the position of the other end is difficult to determine. USP4761
No. 854 discloses a lifting device that supports one end of a rod and raises it toward a hook.
The lifting device stops there after moving the rod under the hook. Since the other end of the rod arranged under the hook is not supported at all, it is difficult to determine the position of the other end of the rod. Thus, the prior art supports only one end of the rod and not the other end of the rod, making it difficult to insert the other end of the rod into the loop.

The device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-219334 has a rod feeding device for feeding a bent rod onto a rod supporting hook. This device has a guide member that slides and guides both ends of the rod, and a rod carrying-out means that moves the rod from the guide member while holding both ends thereof and places it on the rod support hook. The device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-229134 or the device shown in Fig. 43 of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-7073 includes a rod support hook for disposing the rod below the hook for suspending the sausage. The disclosed device (FIGS. 66 and 67) is a loop forming device in which a hook for suspending a sausage and a hook for supporting a rod are provided above and below, and between the upper and lower hooks on the rod supporting hook. There is shown a rod feeding device in which a rod transfer member for feeding a rod to the rod reciprocates in the lateral direction of the rod. In these known devices, since the rod is supported over the entire length of the rod, the rod largely curved in an arch shape along the longitudinal direction is not supported at a substantially constant position. As a result, the rod is difficult to insert into the sausage loop suspended from the hook.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 63-56245 discloses a device for feeding a rod onto a screw feeder and a rod discharging device for moving a sausaged rod upward from the screw feeder. This known device requires separate devices for feeding and discharging the rod.

In the device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-91138, a rod is arranged in front of the hook, and a loop transferred to the rod is slid on the rod to move toward the front end of the rod. Although this known technique can supply the next sausage to the apparatus without removing the rod, it poses a risk of twisting of the twisted portion due to sliding of the sausage on the rod. The above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-229134
In the device disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-7073 or Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 6-7073, since the sausage is moved toward the front end of the rod while the sausage is hung on the hook, there is a concern about untwisting of the twisted portion as described above. There is no. However, since the rod is supported at the position where the rear end and the front loop are almost the same,
The next sausage cannot be supplied without removing the rod.
You have to wait for the next sausage supply until both sausage terminals are processed before removing the rod,
There is a problem in terms of productivity.
