(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the bottle delivery transfer device 80 as described above, since the bucket 82 is formed in an L shape in a plan view, particularly when the bottle 10 having a small diameter is transferred, It is difficult to sufficiently hold the bottle 10 by the bucket 82, and when the bottle 10 is moved on the transfer plate 70 between the conveyors 50, 60 via the bucket 82, the bottle 10 shown in FIGS. As shown by the phantom lines, the resistance of the transfer board 70 not only causes the bottle 10 to stop or wobble, but also causes the bottle 10 to fall over. There is a problem that the carrier line of the bottles 10 on the side of the second conveyor 60 is disturbed due to wobbling.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to reliably hold a bottle with a bucket and prevent the bottle from wobbling or falling even when conveying a bottle with a small diameter. An object of the present invention is to provide a bottle delivery carrier capable of carrying out bottle delivery.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a first conveyor and a second conveyor for transporting bottles that are orthogonal to each other, and a bucket arranged between these conveyors. In the bottle delivery carrier, bottle-holding blades are provided on both sides in the moving direction of the bucket, the blades holding the bottle slantingly outwardly.

(Operation) When the bottle conveyed by the first conveyor reaches the conveying end side, the bottle is received and held between the blades of the bucket provided in the bottle transfer device, and the wobble of the bottle is caused by the blades. In the state where it is securely held without inviting lodging, the first
The bottles are delivered from the conveyor to the second conveyor side, and thereafter, the bottles are conveyed in an aligned state on the second conveyor.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a bottle transporting portion of a glass bottle manufacturing facility. A bottle 10 molded on the bottle manufacturing apparatus (not shown) side is vertically transported in a direction indicated by an arrow A in FIG. A second conveyor 2 extending in the orthogonal direction from the end of the conveyance direction and taking over the bottle 10 conveyed by the first conveyor 1 and laterally conveying it in the direction of arrow B in FIG. A transfer plate 3 made of iron or the like is provided between the conveyance start and end portions of the second conveyors 1 and 2 so as to fill the gap between the conveyors 1 and 2, while the conveyance start and end portions are provided between the conveyors 1 and 2. A bottle delivery carrier device 4 that is turned in an inclined shape (direction of arrow C in the figure) is arranged. The bottle delivery transport device 4 includes a transport endless belt 5 such as a transport chain, and a plurality of buckets 6 connected to the endless belt 5, and the endless belt 5 includes a driving wheel 7 and a driven wheel 8. An intermediate wheel 9 is provided between the wheels 7 and 8 which are wound between them.

Then, each bucket 6 of the bottle delivery carrier 4 is
The configuration is as follows. That is, each of the buckets 6 has a second
As clarified in the figure, a connecting body 61 connected to the endless belt 5 and a mounting plate 62 that extends downward from the outer surface side of the connecting body 61 are provided. A support body 63 having a shape substantially in a plan view opened to the bottle 10 conveyed by the first conveyor 1 is attached with a fixing screw, and the support body 63 is relatively opposed to both sides in the moving direction of the endless belt 5. First and second blades 64,65 for holding a pair of facing bottles
Install diagonally outward with fixing screws in a divergent manner. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the support 63 includes a base wall 63a extending along the moving direction of the endless belt 5 (direction of arrow C in the figure) and a front side thereof in the moving direction. From base wall 6
A first mounting wall 63b tilted about 110 ° to the front side with respect to 3a is integrally provided, and a second mounting wall 63c tilted about 130 ° to the rear side from the rear side in the moving direction of the base wall 63a is integrated. And the outer appearance of the support 63 is formed into a substantially planar shape in plan view. Then, the first and second blades 64, 65 are integrally attached to the inner surfaces of the first and second attachment walls 63b, 63c formed as described above, respectively. The bottle 10 supplied from the bottle manufacturing apparatus to the first conveyor 1 and conveyed by the conveyor 1 and delivered to each bucket 6 of the bottle delivery apparatus 4 is still at a high temperature. Each of the blades 64, 65 attached to the base shall be made of asbestos or carbon.
