PURPOSE:To prevent damage of a receptacle by providing inlet portions of a transport conveyer and a space forming conveyer with opening releasing part synchronously operated in such a manner that a space forming finger is kept from contacting the receptacle in a conveyer for a paper or plastic liquid receptacle. CONSTITUTION:Receptacles 1 which have been transported to a gangboard 8 from the first conveyer 6 are fed onto a conveyer 7 at fixed intervals by a feed finger 14 of the fourth conveyer 10 in sychronization with the second conveyer 7, and further delivered to a finger 13 of the third conveyer 9. Meanwhile, when the finger 14 of the conveyer 10 comes near to the conveyer 7, a regulating bar 12 is pivoted on a shaft 6 to retreat outwardly. The receptacle is retreated to the outside in order that the finger 14 is not brought into contact with the side wall of the receptacle 1 to be crushed in co-operation with an opening releasing part (a). After passing the finger 14, the receptacle 1 is restored to be engaged with the finger 14 and transferred. Thus, the receptacles can be transferred at fixed intervals without damage. |
