<；P>；PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that a conventional pulling-out apparatus is large-sized and heavy, weakens the clamping force of a shellfish fastener, the shellfish fastener is hardly pulled out and remains of shellfish fasteners occur when the stiffness of belt is reduced. <；P>；SOLUTION: The projected parts of shellfish fasteners are brought into contact with an arranging tool during rope running so that the shellfish fasteners are rotated together with the rope in the peripheral direction of the rope and the projected parts are arranged in a fixed direction. The projected parts of the shellfish fasteners are drawn in by a rotary drawing-in tool arranged at the side of the rope and pulled-out from the rope during rope running. The method for arranging and pulling-out shellfish fasteners comprises, in a method for pulling-out long and slender shellfish fasteners passing through a rope from the rope, running an ear shell hanging rope, bringing the projected parts of shellfish fasteners projected to a rope side into contact with an arranging body during rope running, arranging the projected parts of the shellfish fasteners in a fixed direction, drawing-in the arranged projected parts by the pulling-out tool during rope running and pulling-out the shellfish fasteners from the rope. The arranging tool is thin at the front side in the running direction of the rope and of shaft-like form thick at the other end and the projected parts of the shellfish fasteners are automatically made outward along the outer peripheral surface of large-diameter part with rope running. <；P>；COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
