【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The figure shows an example in which the sheet take-out device according to the present invention is applied to a label hanging device. As shown in the figure, a stocker 2 for accommodating a label B as a sheet is provided above the conveying device 1 for conveying the container A in one direction.

As shown in FIG. 4, the label B is made of paper having a thickness of about 0.5 mm, and a neck hanging hole a is formed at one end thereof. A fold line b extending in the width direction is formed at a position offset to the end.

The stocker 2 for storing the label B has an appropriate shape according to the outer shape of the label B. In the embodiment, a pair of side plates 3 a and 3 b having different width dimensions are arranged in the width of the label B. The end plates 4 are provided on one side of the side plate 3a having a large width dimension so as to face each other with a corresponding interval.

The labels B stored in the stocker 2 are taken out one by one from the lower part of the stocker 2 by the operation of the take-out device 10 according to the present invention, and are carried onto the carrying line of the container A.

The take-out device 10 has a rotary table 11 as a moving table that supports the lowest label B stored in the stocker 2 in a state where one end of the label B projects outside the outer diameter surface.

The rotary table 11 includes a drive shaft 12, and the drive shaft 12 is rotationally driven by a drive device (not shown).

An annular groove 13 is formed on the upper surface of the rotary table 11, and a plurality of fitting grooves 14 extending in the radial direction of the rotary table 11 are formed outside the annular groove 13 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. .

The groove width of the fitting groove 14 is slightly larger than the width dimension of the label B, and the groove depth is substantially equal to the thickness of the label B.

The stocker 2 is arranged such that a side plate 3b having a small width is located on the front side in the rotation direction of the rotary table 11 which is rotated in the arrow direction of FIG.

A rail 20 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the outer surface of the side plate 3b, and a holding plate 21 provided on the rotary table 11 is supported along the rail 20 so as to be vertically movable.

The upper portion of the support shaft 22 whose lower end is connected to the upper surface of the holding plate 21 is slidably supported by penetrating the support piece 23 attached to the side plate 3b, and the projection 24 and the support piece 23 attached to the upper portion thereof. The holding plate 21 is held at a predetermined height by the engagement.

A gate member 25 is attached to one side of the holding plate 21. The gate member 25 is arranged below the outside of the narrow side plate 3b of the stocker 2, and a gate 26 is provided between the gate member 25 and the upper surface of the rotating table 11. The gate 26 is smaller than the thickness of the label B 1 and prevents the label B from being fed out from the lower portion of the stocker 2 in an overlapping state.

The gate member 25 may be omitted and a gate may be provided between the lower end of the side plate 3b and the upper surface of the rotary table 11.

A stopper 30 for stopping the label B, which is conveyed in the circumferential direction by the rotation of the rotary table 11 on the transport line of the container A, is provided on the front side of the pressing plate 21 in the rotation direction of the rotary table 11 so as to be vertically movable. ing.

A folding device 40 that bends one end of the label B downward is provided at the stop position of the label B that is stopped by contacting the stopper 30. In the folding device 40, an L-shaped bending plate 42 is attached to the lower end of an elevating shaft 41 that is vertically moved by a cam or the like, and the label B held in a stopped state by a stopper 30 when the bending plate 42 descends. I try to push down one end.

Now, when the rotary table 11 is rotated in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2, when the fitting groove 14 provided in the rotary table 11 passes below the stocker 2, the lowest label B in the stocker 2 is fitted. Fits in the groove 14. The label B is conveyed in the circumferential direction with the other end supported by the bottom surface of the fitting groove 14, and taken out from the lower part of the stocker 2.

At this time, the groove depth of the fitting groove 14 is substantially equal to the thickness of the label B, and since the gate 26 provided on the label feeding side is smaller than the thickness of the label B, one sheet from the bottom of the stocker 2 is inserted. Only the label B will be taken out. If two or more labels B are delivered in an overlapping state, the gate member 25 and the pressing plate 21 are pushed by the overlapping labels B and move upward along the rail 20 to allow passage of the overlapping labels B. . Therefore, there is no inconvenience that the label B is clogged at the gate 26, and the label B can be reliably delivered from the lower portion of the stocker 2.

The label B taken out from the stocker 2 is conveyed in the circumferential direction of the rotary table 11 and brought into a stopped state by abutting against the stopper 30 descending together with the folding plate 42. Since the rotary table 11 rotates with respect to the label B in the stopped state, the label B slips out of the fitting groove 14 and is supported by the upper surface of the rotary table 11, and one end of the label B is lowered by lowering the folding plate 42. Is pushed down and bent from the fold line b, so that the neck hanging hole a faces the transport line of the mouth A ₁ of the container A.

The folded state of the label B is kept in a folded state by collision with the high pressure air ejected from the nozzle 50, and the mouth portion A _{1 of the} container A conveyed by the conveying device ₁ is fitted into the neck hanging hole a. By the engaging operation, the label B is taken out from the rotary table 11 and hung on the neck portion A ₂ of the container A.
