2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 7 shows a conventional container direction aligning apparatus, which is provided with double-rowed endless belts 03 and 04, and which has a container 01 oriented in the longitudinal direction with respect to the traveling direction and a transverse direction with respect to the traveling direction. The guide 05 that guides the facing container 02 is a guide 05 of an inclined portion that forms an angle of θ degrees with respect to the traveling direction of the belt 03.
1 and the guide 05 2 along the sliding contact portion of the belt 03 and the belt 04, and the container 01 which is oriented in the longitudinal direction with respect to the traveling direction travels along the guide 05 and the guide 05 of the inclined portion.
Even after being guided by 1 and riding on the belt 04 from the belt 03, the state of the container 01 1 is changed to the vertical direction, and the direction of the container is not changed. On the other hand, the container 0 facing the lateral direction with respect to the traveling direction
2 is due to the resistance of the guide 05 1 of the inclined portion and the relationship of V 1 > V 0 of the speed V 0 of the belt 03 and the speed V 1 of the belt 04, like the containers 02 1 and 02 2 when transferring to the belt 04. Rotate sequentially, the horizontal container 02 is almost vertical container 0
The action of rotating like 2 2 occurs.

In the conventional container direction aligning device, the rotational force of the container 02 changes depending on the friction coefficient of the surface of the guide 05 and the value of the angle θ of the guide 05 1 of the inclined portion. Further, the rotational force of the container 02 also changes according to the change in the value of the speed difference V 1 -V 0 between the belts 03 and 04. On the other hand, in order to increase the processing capacity of the container, it is necessary to change the value of the angle θ of the guide 05 1 and the value of the speed difference V 1 -V 0 of the belts 03 and 04. At this time, if the value of the angle θ of the guide 05 1 of the inclined portion is decreased and the value of the speed difference V 1 −V 0 of the belts 03, 04 is increased in order to increase the rotational force of the container 02 in the lateral direction, the longitudinal direction is increased. The rotational force that acts on the container 01 is increased, and the rotational force acts on the container 01 that does not require rotation. Thus, in the conventional method in which the container 02 is rotated by the friction of the guide 05 1 , the directional alignment of the container is uncertain. In the present invention, a vertically oriented container that does not need to be rotated is passed through as it is, and a laterally or intermediately oriented container that requires rotational force is in a state of straddling a plurality of parallel endless belts. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a container direction aligning device that enables direction alignment and solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

Further, instead of the flat plate guide 6 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a barrel guide 19 having a tip shape in contact with a container corresponding to the plan view of the flat plate guide 6 shown in FIG. 1 may be adopted. The body guide 19 may be used together. It should be noted that the body guide 19 may exhibit substantially the same operational effects as the flat plate guide 6. That is, in any of the container 1 that does not need to give a rotational force and the containers 2 and 3 that need to give a rotational force, the body guide 19 guides the body of the container so that the same amount as that of the flat plate guide is obtained. An offset is obtained, and at the time of the containers 2 and 3, a part of the container bottom is laid on the belt 5. The shape concept is designed in the same idea as the flat plate guide, and the mounting position is near the container body.
