PURPOSE:To feed stacked vessels to a loading device etc. in certainly separated state by causing actuation when the lowermost vessel with suction cup of separator stacked thereupon is drawn down and by releasing close contact of the drum part by a pushing member which thrusts the above-situated vessel drum inward. CONSTITUTION:Before a suction cup 8 of a separator device 7 is attracted to the bottom surface 35 of the lowermost one of those vessels 31a which are stacked in a vessel accommodation part 1, followed by sinking, a pushing member 29 pushes and deforms the drum part 34 of that vessel 31b which is situated one above the lowermost, and at the same time, a support member 13 should be retracted. As this vessel 31b is detained by said pushing member 29, the whole of the stacked vessels 31 is supported, and the lowermost one 31a is released from detection with the support member 13 to be now held by the suction cup 8. When the suction cup 8 sinks, the lowermost vessel 31a separates easily and sinks, and is released from the suction cup 8 to be put on a transfer part 10, which performs feeding for a specified distance. Thus the stacked vessels can be supplied to the next process surely one after another from the lowermost lying one.
