Conventionally, in this type of device, as shown in Fig. 1, one external pressure mold is placed above one rotating internal pressure mold a, and simultaneously rotates and moves up and down to contact or detach from the internal pressure mold 1. In front of it, a supply rod C for supplying the bottle stopper H to the internal pressure [a] and a holding roll d are installed. In this device, the bottle stopper H supplied from the bottle stopper supply guide is supplied to the internal pressure [a] by the back and forth movement of the supply rod C, and the pressure roll d contacts this to suppress the top surface of the bottle stopper. Then, while the internal pressure mold a rotates, the external pressure [b at the top of the mold a descends, contacts the internal pressure fia, and curls the lower edge of the bottle stopper.

However, such a device is equipped with one internal pressure mold a and one external pressure mold, and the lower edge of one bottle stopper is rolled up by the vertical movement of the external pressure mold. There are drawbacks such as the external pressure mold swinging, and severe friction makes it difficult to form the bottom of the product evenly.
Furthermore, there are disadvantages in that the production volume per unit time is extremely low due to inefficient work, and the production cost of bottle stoppers is high and uneconomical.9.
