PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent deformation of containers 4 by preventing retention of the containers 4 in a corner part 2b of a conveying path 2. SOLUTION: Lower face sides of flanges 4b formed on the containers 4 are supported by a pair of rails 12, 14, and the containers 4 are advanced by blowing air from an air injection means 22. The direction of the conveying path 2 of this air conveyor 1 is changed by the corner part 2b, and a stopper 6 for stopping the conveyed containers 4 and a sensor 8 for detecting retention of the containers 4 are arranged in the upstream side 2a and downstream side 2c of the corner part 2b, respectively. When the sensor 8 detects the retention of the containers 4, the signal is inputted in a control device 10. Due to command from the control device 10, the stopper 6 is operated to stop the containers 4 and prevent supply of the containers 4 to the corner part 2b. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
