PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a container removing device capable of removing a fallen container on a conveyor. SOLUTION: The container removing device 100 constituted as a part of a device for aligning a plurality of rows of containers in one row comprises a conveyor 10 to support containers 1 such as beer bottles from a lower side and conveys them, and a drive-out mechanism 20 which is arranged on the first side A of a moving path 14 of the containers 1 to be conveyed by the conveyor 10 to drive out fallen containers 1' out of the containers 1 on the conveyor 10 toward a drive-out unit 70 arranged on the second side B of the moving path 14. The drive-out mechanism 20 includes a guide member 22 to guide the containers 1 so as to change the moving direction of the containers 1 on the conveyor 10, a supporting member 24 to turnably and pivotably support the guide member 22 around the axis substantially orthogonal to a conveying surface of the conveyor 10, and a restoration force generating mechanism (a spring) 26 to apply the restoration force to the guide member 22. The guide member 22 is turned according to the force received from the container 1 on the conveyor 10. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
