<p>In a press-through pack PTP conveying apparatus, an inverting device (20) is disposed above a conveying passage along which a plurality of PTPs (1) are conveyed in a standing position. The inverting device (20) has rotary units (22) each provided with a plurality of pairs of pinching fingers (24). The inverting device (20) is reciprocated in directions parallel to the conveying passage by a longitudinal shifting mechanism (40) and is moved vertically in directions perpendicular to the conveying passage by a lifting mechanism (30). While the inverting device (20) is advanced by the longitudinal shifting mechanism (40) in synchronism with the movement of the PTPs (1), the pairs of pinching fingers (24) are lowered to the conveying passage by the lifting mechanism (30), driven to pinch the selected PTPs (1), and raised from the conveying passage. The rotary units (22) are then turned through an angle of 180 DEG to invert the PTPs pinched between the pairs of pinching fingers (24), and then the pairs of pinching fingers (24) are lowered again by the lifting mechanism (30), and driven to release the inverted PTPs (1). Finally, the pinching fingers (24) are raised from the conveying passage. <IMAGE></p> |
