Continuous container-supplying apparatus

A continuous container-supplying apparatus comprising a container holding assembly conveying device and a container-supplying device, wherein

• said container holding assembly conveying device comprises a plurality of container holding assemblies that are disposed at equal intervals so as to be moved in one direction along an annular track which has a pair of parallel sections, said container holding assemblies being moved, on a first side of said parallel sections, intermittently in an action in which a distance of said intermittent movement is an integral multiple of an attachment spacing of said container holding assemblies, and said container holding assemblies being moved, on a second side of said parallel sections, continuously at a constant speed;
• said container-supplying device simultaneously supplies a plurality of containers respectively to each of said plurality of container holding assemblies on said first side of said parallel sections;
• and
• said continuous container-supplying apparatus supplies, by way of said container-supplying device, said containers in a plurality of rows to said container holding assemblies that are stopped on said first side of said parallel sections, and said continuous container-supplying apparatus successively removes said containers from continuously moving container holding assemblies on said second side of said parallel sections;
• wherein
• each of said container holding assemblies is comprised of a right-side holding member and a left-side holding member that hold each of said containers between said right-side holding member and left-side holding member;
• and
• a receiving stand that supports a bottom portion of each of said containers is further provided along said annular track and beneath said container holding assemblies, said receiving stand being adjustable in regards to a height thereof.
