1. A lid feeding apparatus, comprising: a transporting device for intermittently transporting a vessel with its opening end upward; a lid stocking device holding layers of numbers of laminar lids; and a lid feeding mechanism wherein one lid is sucked out of the lid stocking device, transferred above the opening end of said vessel transported by said transporting device, and fed onto said opening end by being released from suction, wherein, near said lid stocking device, the apparatus further comprises: a lid guiding portion for guiding the lid such as to be separated from said lid sucking mechanism to cover said opening end; and a guide portion moving mechanism for moving the lid guiding portion to a level of the opening end of said vessel just before releasing suction of the lid by said lid feeding mechanism. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said guide portion moving mechanism is interlocked with driving force of the lid feeding mechanism. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the lid guiding portion is in the form of a plate provided with a guide hole having a dimension almost identical to that of said lid, the plate moving upward and downward by driving said guide portion moving mechanism. 4. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein a mechanism for correcting a guide hole position is provided so as to match a center of said guide hole with an axis of said vessel. 5. The apparatus according to anyone of claims 1 to 4, wherein a tacking device is provided so as to tack a part of said lid on said opening end, when said lid is fed onto the opening end of said vessel.
