It is connected to the air cylinder 23 so that it can be rotated so that it can be displaced outside the movement trajectory of the group B. The bottle row group forming area 20 is an area extending over the entire width of the transfer area of the light bottle b of the row group supply device X, and the row group B is formed by a predetermined number of light bottles b accumulated in this area. In the bottle row group forming region 20, a bottle group lifting plate 21 on which the row group B of the accumulated lightweight bottles is to be placed is provided below the bottle group lifting plate 21. The bottle group elevating plate 21 is attached to an air cylinder (not shown) so that the row group B of lightweight bottles can be moved up and down. Here, as described above, since the bottle support band 2 in the row group supply device X for lightweight bottles is configured to hang the neck ring 1 from below rather than sandwiching it from both upper and lower sides of the neck ring 1, the lightweight bottle Even if the horizontal row group B is driven upward, the bottle support band 2 does not prevent the driving.

めである。When a predetermined number of light-weight bottles b are accumulated in the bottle row-group forming area 20 of the bottle row-group supplying device X, the row group B of the accumulated light-weight bottles is lifted by the air cylinder. It is placed on the bottle group elevating plate 21. By the way, when the conveyor belt 6 is used as the bottle column transfer means Y, when a predetermined number of lightweight bottles b are accumulated in the bottle row group forming area 20, the driving of the conveyor belt 6 is temporarily stopped and the lightweight bottle b. It is necessary to temporarily stop the supply to the bottle row group supply device X. Since the lightweight bottle b is placed and transferred on the conveyor belt 6,
A predetermined number of lightweight bottles b are accumulated in the bottle row group forming area 20, and when the front is accumulated, it becomes an excessive supply,
This is because the lightweight bottle b will fall on the transport belt 6.

流の供給をいちいち中断する必要はない。On the other hand, when the propelling force to the lightweight bottles b is obtained by the air jet in the bottle vertical transport means Y as in this embodiment, a predetermined number of the lightweight bottles b are accumulated in the bottle row group forming area 20. Even if it is performed, it is possible to continuously apply the air jet without interrupting the supply of the air jet. This is because the light weight bottle b has the neck ring 1 hanging down, so there is no fear of it falling, and the propelling force is exerted because it is a pressure transfer by an air jet which is a gas rather than a placement transfer like the transfer belt 6. This is because there is no excessive force applied when obtaining. Therefore, it is not necessary to interrupt the supply of the air jet in the bottle tandem transport means Y.

At this time, the side 2a of the bottle row group transfer means Z of the bottle support band 2 is connected to the air cylinder to rotate and is displaced out of the movement trajectory of the row group B of the lightweight bottles in the pressing direction. Then, the row group B of the lightweight bottles is pressed by the bottle row group pressing means 22 using an air cylinder, and moves to the bottle row group transfer means Z which is a post-process.

ある。The row group B of the lightweight bottles is sent to the packaging step of the lightweight bottles by the bottle row group transfer means Z using the conveyor belt 4 and the shipping process for the packaging. Hereinafter, the row group B of the predetermined number of lightweight bottles is sequentially supplied by repeating the above cycle. According to the method and the apparatus X in the above-mentioned embodiment, there are the following advantages.

やすい。The method of transferring the light-weight bottle b by the bottle column transfer means Y and the bottle row group supply device X is not the transfer by the transfer by the transfer belt but the press transfer by hanging the neck ring 1 and exerting an air jet. As a result, the bottle does not fall over and it is easy to improve the transfer speed.
