PURPOSE:To contain cans by classifying them surely into those which are made of iron and those are made of aluminum by providing a magnet on a movable plate, and dropping down the respective corresponding empty cans from a first and a second gaps parted by a supporting member. CONSTITUTION:On both sides opposed to a crashed space 10, a fixed plate 11 and a movable plate 12 are provided. By a supporting member 16 provided in an open bottom part of the crashed space 10, the lower end of an empty can is supported. Between the supporting member 16 and the fixed plate 11, and between the former and the movable plate 12, a first and a second gaps 18, 19 are provided, respectively. On the crashed surface of movable plate 12, an electromagnet 14 attached magnetically to an empty can made of iron is provided. The movable plate 12 advances and drops down automatically an aluminum can crashed on the plate surface of the fixed plate 11 into a first containing space 2a through a first gap 18. The movable plate 12 advances and detaches the empty can made of iron, crashed on the plate surface of the fixed plate 11, from the plate surface of the movable plate 12 in the retracting process of the movable plate 12 and drops it down into a second containing space 2b through a second gap 19. In such a way, a structure of the device is simplified, it can be manufactured at a low cost, and miniaturization of the whole device can be attained. |
