PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely separate the contents from a container, and separate the contents of a container which can not be deformed and the contents which is broken if they are twisted from the container while remarkably lowering manufacturing cost by employing an extremely simple structure.SOLUTION: A separator includes: a plurality of sets of separation transfer parts 3 which pinch a container 1 with the contents therein in a separation gap 2 for transfer and a driving mechanism 4 for driving each of the separation transfer parts 3, and transfers the container 1 to a plurality of the sets of the separation transfer parts 3. The separation transfer part 3 includes a pair of rotary shafts 5 disposed on both the surfaces of the separation gap 2 for transferring the container 1, and rotates the pair of the rotary shafts 5 in an opposite direction to each other thereby transferring the container 1 in the separation gap 2. The pairs of the rotary shafts 5, which constitute the separation transfer parts 3 arranged adjacently, are configured so that both the ends thereof are eccentrically disposed in an opposite direction to each other with respect to the rotation central axis m. The separator transfers the container 1 while pressing its opposing corners in a direction that reversely twists the front and rear parts of the container 1 which is transferred in the separation gap 2 of the adjacent separation transfer parts 3, thereby separating the contents attached to the container 1 from the container 1.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】極めて簡単な構造として製造コストを著しく低減しながら、容器から内容物を確実に分離する。変形できない容器や捻ると破損する内容物を容器から分離する。【解決手段】分離装置は、内容物を収納してなる容器1を分離隙間2で挟んで移送する複数組の分離移送部3と、各々の分離移送部3を駆動する駆動機構4とを備え、容器1を複数組の分離移送部3に移送している。分離移送部3は、容器1を移送する分離隙間2の両面に配設してなる一対の回転軸5を備え、一対の回転軸5を互いに反対方向に回転して分離隙間2で容器1を移送している。隣接して配設してなる分離移送部3を構成してなる一対の回転軸5は、その両端部を回転中心軸mに対して互いに反対方向に偏心している。分離装置は、隣接する分離移送部3の分離隙間2で移送される容器1の前後を反対に捻る方向に対角を押圧しながら移送して、容器1に付着している内容物を容器1から分離する。【選択図】図2
