<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the mechanism of a cap attaching device and reduce the time for a cap attaching process.SOLUTION: When a cap 11 held at an inclination angle of 8 degrees with a liquid storage container 21 descends vertically, a first projection 12 comes into contact with a round shape of the liquid storage container. This causes a horizontal force as a component of the vertical force created by the vertical descending of a cap holding part. The horizontal component force actuates a slide mechanism of the cap holding part to move the held cap 11 horizontally. When the cap holding part descends further, the cap 11 and the liquid storage container 21 are placed in such a relation that the first projection 12 is leveled with a first fitting part, and the horizontal component force acting on the cap 11 no longer exists. This causes the cap 11 (cap holding part) to be restored through the slide mechanism by the force of a spring, thus completing the engagement between the first projection 12 and the first fitting part.</p> |
