<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a container gathering device for gathering containers by conveying multiple rows of containers into a single row by means of multiple rows of conveyors arranged side by side between a carry-in conveyor and a carry-out conveyor, and by means of a container guide that crosses the multiple rows of the conveyors and brings the containers into slide contact with the guide, and which is excellent in space efficiency and which can efficiently gather the containers in a single row. <P>SOLUTION: Multiple rows of curved conveyors 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d having velocity differences in order from the carry-in conveyor 5 to the carry-out conveyor 6 are provided side by side between the carry-in conveyor 5 and the carry-out conveyor 6. The multiple rows of curved conveyor are provided with the curve guides 1g that substantially cross the multiple rows of curved conveyors at a proper angle with respect to the tangent direction of the curved portions of the curved conveyors so as to bring the containers P into slide contact with the guides. The containers P in multiple rows to be carried are gathered in a single row. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
