GUIDE MEMBER OF CONTAINER EJECTING DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE:To allow containers to fall in a stable state by forming guide surfaces which incline diagonally forward and downward toward the progressing direction of the containers at the front end of a guide member. CONSTITUTION:The containers 2 which are housed in holders 3 and are supported by the guide member 10 are inclined and transported in the holders 3 by the friction force of the bottoms 2a of the containers 2 and the guide member 10 in such a manner that the bottoms 2a are positioned on the rear side of the progressing direction. The bottoms of the containers 2 are directed toward the inside wall surface on the front side in the transporting direction of the holders 3 and are pushed out toward the front side in the transporting direction of the containers. The pushing out force of the respective guide surfaces 21 is obtd. as the synthesized force of the component of the pushing out force along the progressing direction of the containers and the component of the pushing out force in the direction orthogonal therewith. The containers are dropped in the stable state from the holders in this way.
