Metering device

A gauging device 1 is used for gauging the gauged rod-shaped matters such as thin noodles, comprising a gauging hopper 2 and a provision portion 3. The gauging hopper 2 is used for gauging the weight of the gauged matters provided by the provision portion 3. The provision portion 3 is capable of storing the gauged matters and providing the gauged matters to the gauging hopper 2 and has an arrangement portion 34 for fitly arranging the stored gauged matters. Specifically, the arrangement portion 34 has an inclined plane 34a. When the gauged matters are stored at the provision portion 3, the inclined plane 34a is located in storage space 3a of a cylindrical element 31 and is set to be a prescribed angle Alpha inclining relative to the upper and lower directions. The gauged matters provided to the provision portion are contacted with the inclined plane 34a and move downwardly along the inclined plane 34a.
