ALIGNING/CONVEYING IMPLEMENT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aligning/conveying implement for use when an adhesive is hardened or annealed by keeping the subject of heating in a high-temperature environment inside a high-temperature furnace and which achieves a high efficiency of heat transfer for carrying and supplying the subject of heating to the high-temperature furnace. SOLUTION: When an adhesive, i.e., the subject of heating, is hardened or annealed by use of a high-temperature furnace that processes a plurality of subjects of heating at a time by lots or a continuous high-temperature furnace having a means for continuously conveying subjects of heating, the subject of heating is placed on the aligning/conveying implement 1 having a plurality of holes 2 or grooves formed on its periphery, and the aligning/conveying implement is put into the high-temperature furnace where halogen lamps are used as heating means. The use of the aligning/conveying implement can provide improved heat efficiency by allowing the subject of heating to efficiently reach a set high-temperature environment temperature.
