ABSTRACT:
A can lid feeder, for use with a can seamer, has a separator for can lids which projects into a drop hole provided in a cylindrical body at the bottom of a hopper and which separates dropped and stacked can lids one by one from the bottom of the stack. A rotary shaft of the separator extends in a gear box which is supported in the feeder in a freely swingable manner. The gear box is swingable so that the separator can move in the radial direction with respect to the cylindrical body having the drop hole. After a side surface of the swinging gear box has been brought into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body, the gear box is fixed in position by a clamp lever. According to another apsect of the present invention, the separator for can lids is of a rotary type and is provided with the independent screw grooves in its circumferential surface for separating can lids one by one from the bottom of a stack of can lids which have dropped through a drop at the bottom of a hopper and have become stacked. According to still another aspect of the invention a can lid feeding mechanism for successively feeding can lids to cans filed with liquid is disposed midway of a can feeding conveyor between a filler and a can seamer.
