Moving body separating device

A moving body separating device, comprising a separating device main body loaded on an upstream-side moving body disposed to be movable in one direction on a base to function to separate a downstream-side moving body connected to the upstream-side moving body on the base at a prescribed separating point when moving to a downstream side, wherein:

• the separating device main body comprises a rotary pressure member disposed close to the downstream-side moving body to function to push out the downstream-side moving body towards the downstream side by its other end part through a rotary action, a supporting shaft held by the upstream-side moving body for supporting the rotary pressure member to be freely rotatable, and an original-position returning spring held by the supporting shaft for returning the rotary pressure member to an original position;
• and
• a pressure force energizing member which generates a rotary pressure force at the rotary pressure member by energizing the rotary pressure member is fixed at the separating point on the base by corresponding to one end part of the rotary pressure member.
