PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sufficiently secure a cleaning section and a draining section by eliminating a container reversing mechanism in a rinser, and simplify the structure of a container reversing mechanism arranged outside the rinser. SOLUTION: Container gripping means 21 are arranged on the outer circumference of a rotor 48 at every equal distance in the circumferential direction. The container gripping means has two container grippers 52 symmetrically set across a shaft 54 tangential to the circumference of the rotor 48, and a locking member 64 arranged integrally with the container gripping means is locked to a guide rail 62 to reverse the up-and-down relation between two container grippers. The container gripping means comprises two plate springs 56, whose respective facing ends 56a are pulled up to each other by springs 58, and each plate spring is provided with gripping plates 60 fixed to both ends. The necks 4c of containers are inserted between the gripping plates by resisting the springs, where the containers are held. Following the reversal of one container gripper holding one container, the other container gripper is reversed as it holds the other container. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
