As a result, the connecting shaft 22 rotates, and as a result, the support claw 21 attached to the connecting shaft 22 opens, so that the disc case 1 can be raised without colliding with the support claw 21.
In this case, when one or a plurality of disc cases 1 are already supported on the support claws 21, the stocked disc cases 1 are transferred onto the rising disc case 1. It has become.
[0061]
By the operation of the cylinder 16, the lifter 12 further raises the disk case 1 until it passes through the support claw 21.
Thus, when the disk case 1 moves up, the support claws 21 are retracted from the track so that a damage accident due to a collision between the two can be prevented.
During this time, the support claw 21 remains open by the action of the cam mechanism.
[0062]
Next, when the piston rod 17a of the cylinder 17 is extended, the lifter 12 remains stopped at that position (top dead center) and the bracket 19 is lowered, so that the cam arm 20 attached thereto is also lowered. .
The cam arm 20 is disengaged from the cam 23 that has been engaged so far, and is restored to the original state by the elasticity of the spring 24, whereby the support claw 21 is closed.
Then, when the piston rod 16a of the cylinder 16 is retracted next, the lifter 12 is lowered, so that the disc case 1 can be transferred onto the closed support claw 21.
Hereinafter, by repeating this operation, a large number of disk cases 1 are stacked from the lower side of the stocker 11.
[0063]
Thus, when a large number of compact disc packages after completion of assembly are ejected from the CD packaging apparatus 100, the disc case 1 can be stocked in the stocker 11 in an orderly manner.
Thereby, it can connect smoothly and efficiently to the packaging process etc. after this process.
[0064]
Although the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and it goes without saying that various other modifications are possible without departing from the essence thereof.
For example, the example in which the support claw 21 is mechanically interlocked with the lifter 12 has been described. However, a separate drive mechanism for rotationally driving the support claw 21 is provided, and the lifter 12 is supported while being detected electrically or optically. The nail | claw 21 can also be controlled.
