| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to an apparatus to supply spout-equipped bags which pushes a plurality of spout-equipped bags from a maintenance rail to a transfer rail, and then discharges the empty maintenance rail by a simple mechanism. A thin and long maintenance rail (14) wherein a plurality of spout-equipped bags (W) are aligned in a straight line is moved to a transfer position (c1-c4) by a rail supply unit (80). The transferred maintenance rail (14) is maintained in a state of being opposed to the transfer rail (60) by a maintenance mechanism (3). A push member (52) includes a back transport face (52b3) which comes in contact with the spout-equipped bags suspended on the maintenance rail (14), and pushes the bags towards the transfer rail, and a rail push face (52b2) which comes in contact with the maintenance rail and discharges the maintenance rail to a side opposite to the transfer rail (60), and reciprocates in a longitudinal direction of the maintenance rail (14). A lifting mechanism (51) is provided; and the lifting mechanism lowers the push member (52) when the push member (52) moves forwards, and raises the push member (52) when the push member (52) moves backwards to raise the push face (52b2) to a height of interfering with the maintenance rail (14). |
