PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a container supply device that is able to increase the speed of container supply without causing a container bridge or bottle breakage.SOLUTION: A container supply device 100 comprises: a conveyor 11 inclined downward in the direction of container supply; a receiving port 12 that receives a container conveyed by the conveyor 11; a supply star wheel 13 having a groove (pocket part 9) formed in a peripheral edge and configured to convey a container, fitted in this groove from the receiving port 12, by means of rotation, thereby conveying the container to the subsequent processing device; and a vibrating mechanism (bridge breaker 20) arranged in the receiving port 12 and vibrates the container that has been conveyed thereto. On the conveyor 11, the vibrating mechanism is supported by a beam 30 above the receiving port 12, and periodically vibrates a block 25 that can be vibrated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
