The object of the present invention is to provide an article turning-round apparatus that can turns round a diaper at a high velocity without restriction imposed on the positions at which the diaper are loaded and unloaded. The solution of the present invention is a turning-round apparatus (1A), comprising a rotary disk (2) rotating about a first shaft (5), a number of placed disks (16) fitted to a peripheral edge part (2a) of the rotary disk (2), a first conveyor belt (3) conveying diapers (50) to a first portion (6), and a second conveyor belt (4) conveying the diapers (50) from a second portion (7), the placed disks (16) further comprising first placed disks (16a) revolving about the peripheral edge part (2a) of the rotary disk (2) and second placed disks (16b) rotating on their axes at the peripheral edge part (2a) while revolving about the peripheral edge part (2a) of the rotary disk (2), wherein the placed disks (16a) and (16b) receive the diapers (50) sequentially at the first portion (6), and the second placed disks (16b) rotate on their axes at the peripheral edge part (2a) of the rotary disk (2) while the second placed disks (16b) are moved from the first portion (6) to the second portion (7).
