PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a staggered arrangement shaping method and its device, which can easily shape cylindrical bodies into a staggered arrangement even if they are the cylindrical bodies in an elliptical shape each in a plane view. ;SOLUTION: A matrix arrangement shaping area 20 and a staggered arrangement shaping area 21 are set up over a carrying belt 14. Let elliptic pots 1 pushed out of a sorting conveyor 3 over the carrying belt 14, be aligned in a matrix shape over the matrix arrangement forming area 20. Subsequently, each line is set up by a position shifting mechanism 30 over the staggered arrangement shaping area 21 into a state that each line is so set as to allow the elliptical pots 1 to be staggered in the line direction, after that, each line is narrowed in width by a width narrowing mechanism 40, so that let each line thereby be formed into a staggered arrangement.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1997,JPO
