Abstract: Apparatus shown in FIG. 1a for distributing and placing pseudo-spherical objects i.e. cherries, nuts, pralines on i.e. cakes, sweets, ice creams, comprising a hopper (1) adapted to co-operate with an element imparting an oscillating movement thereto, the lower opening of the hopper being situated immediately above and opposite the calibrated opening (5) of a cylindrical tube (3) for receiving the objects from the hopper. The cylindrical tube (3) is rotatable about its longitudinal axis between two end positions symetrical to one another in relation to mean position. A cylindrical rod (7) slides axially in an alternating movement inside the cylindrical tube.
