To deaden impact sound generated when each cup is reversely turned and to prevent the contents of the cup from being scattered when the cup is reversely turned, in a filling machine that supports on an endless chain via pins a large number of bowl-shaped cups, which are intermittently moved together with the chain, turns the cups reversely by the stop inertia of the chain at the chain end, and fills the contents of each cup into a baglike container by the reverse turn inertia of the cup.

A support plate 13 receiving a carried cup from the chain 10 turns reversely around a pin 11 by stop impact of an end wheel 25 and releases the contents of the cup 12. However, in the beginning of the reverse turn of the support plate 13, the support 13 receives the resistance of the elastic cushioning material 40 of the leading end of a movable stopper 30. In this case, the movable stopper 30 connects to the bottom dead center of a crank arm activating the stopper 30 and is put in a temporarily stopping position or in a gentle moving position, and moves to the lower limit position 30A with gradual acceleration while applying brake to the support plate 13.
