<p>A cover feeder which is capable of accurately feeding covers to the open end surfaces of containers safely while reducing device cost and maintenance cost and while correcting the positions of the cover and container. A cover feeder comprising a conveyer (2) for intermittently conveying containers (N) with their open end surfaced directed upward, a cover stock device (4) holding a stack of covers, and a cover feeding mechanism (6) sucking a single cover from the cover stock device (4) and holding it, transferring it up to the upper side of the open end surface of a container carried-in on the conveyer, and releasing the cover from the sucking and holding to feed it onto the open end surface, the cover feeder further comprising a cover guide (40) adjacent the cover stock device (4) for guiding the cover in covering the open end surface as it is released from a cover suction mechanism, and a guide moving mechanism (46) for moving the cover guide (40) to a position flush with the open end surface of the container immediately before the cover is released from the sucking and holding of the cover feeding mechanism.</p> |
