A supply device for supplying a cylindrical container whose posture is changed,
A turret having a plurality of grooves formed in the circumferential direction and rotated;
A guide member that changes a posture of a cylindrical container accommodated in the groove,
The cylindrical container is supplied into the groove in a first posture whose axial direction substantially coincides with the axial direction of the turret,
Due to the relative position change between the turret and the guide member, the cylindrical container is guided by the guide member so as to be changed to a second posture substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the turret. Feeding device. The guide member includes a first inclined surface that presses the cylindrical container toward an outer peripheral direction of the turret, and a second inclined surface that receives the cylindrical container pressed by the first inclined surface. The supply device according to claim 1, wherein at least a part of the first inclined surface is opposed to at least a part of the second inclined surface. The inclination angle of the first inclined surface continuously changes toward the circumferential direction of the turret, and the inclination angle of the second inclined surface continuously changes toward the circumferential direction of the turret. The supply device according to claim 2. The supply device according to claim 2 or 3, wherein a protrusion that can be engaged with the cylindrical container is formed on the second inclined surface. The guide member includes a first guide member having the first inclined surface and a second guide member having the second inclined surface, and the first guide member is an upper surface of the turret. The supply device according to any one of claims 2 to 4, wherein the supply device is disposed on a side and the first inclined surface extends in an outer peripheral direction from a first groove of the turret toward a second groove. 6. The supply device according to claim 1, wherein the cylindrical container is changed from the first posture to the second posture while the turret is rotated 180 degrees. 6. The supply device according to claim 1, wherein the cylindrical container is changed from the first posture to the second posture while the turret is rotated by 90 degrees. The plurality of grooves of the turret are divided into a plurality of sets of grooves by discontinuous portions, and the number of grooves in one set corresponds to the number of cylindrical containers accommodated in the case accommodating the cylindrical containers. The supply device according to any one of claims 1 to 7. A supply device according to any one of claims 1 to 8 ,
