Title:
CHAINLESS CONTAINER-TRANSPORTING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/047113
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A container-transporting device where problems inevitably occurring by using endless chains are radically avoided, the problems being those caused by elongation and structure of endless chains in a container-transporting conveyor in a conventional filling and packaging machine. A chainless container-transporting device (30) transports a rectangular tube-like container (36) held by a container holder (34) formed between container-transporting means (32, 33) arranged opposite and parallel to each other. The container-transporting means (32, 33) have a large number of blocks (40) each having a holding section (38) constituting a part of a container holder (34), an outgoing path-supporting member (42) and a return path-supporting member (44) that are extended in the conveying direction and supporting the large number of blocks (40) so as to be movable in the conveying direction, first delivering means (46) capable of sequentially delivering a block (40), supported and transferred by the outgoing path-supporting member (42), to the return path-supporting member (44), second delivering means (48) capable of sequentially delivering a block (40), supported and transferred by the return path-supporting member (44), to the outgoing path-supporting member (42), and block send-out means (50) capable of sending out and conveying the blocks (40) so that individual blocks (40) can circulate.
