Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention makes possible the setting of the pitch of container packs, which comprise multiple containers as a unit, so as to have the array pitch of a mandrel unit in a subsequent film-fitting step and suspended conveyance thereof. A container conveyance device (14) is for setting the pot pitch of various containers (C) in a container conveyance direction (A) so as to have a prescribed pitch that is equal to the array pitch of a mandrel head in a film-fitting step. The container conveyance device (14) is provided on both sides of a container conveyance path (25) with multiple moving claws (24) that move along the container conveyance direction (A). Each moving claw (24) has a supporting upper surface (24a) that contacts the lower surface of flanges (F) of respective containers (C) to suspend and support the containers and a front end circumferential surface (24b) that fits between the pot sections (P) of the respective containers (C) and contacts the respective circumferences of two pot sections (P) that are adjacent in the conveyance direction. When the containers (C) are continuously conveyed, a moving claw (24) fits between the two pot sections (P) and the spacing between the two pot sections (P) is set to the prescribed pitch (PP).
