Abstract: An apparatus and method for distributing disks includes a slide cutter member for dividing a row of stacked disks being conveyed at a continuous constant speed at every predetermined number thereof, one after another, to form cylindrical stacked bodies thereof. An inclined passage is positioned adjacent to and extending at substantially a right angle with respect to the conveying direction of said stacked disks. The inclined passage includes a lower portion being inclined upwardly to a forward end. The slide cutter supplies every cylindrical stacked body one after another to the inclined passage. A push-up member is provided for intermittently pushing upwards the cylindrical stacked bodies supplied one after another to the lower portion of the inclined passage. A holding member is provided for holding upwardly moved one or more cylindrical stacked bodies at an upper stage position on the lower portion of the inclined passage.
