ABSTRACT:
A cap removing apparatus includes a transfer path through which a container closed by a cap is transferred, a rotary driving mechanism provided in a first position and rotates the container, a correcting mechanism which corrects the posture of a knob of the cap, and a cap-removing mechanism which is provided in a second position, pinches the knob and removes the cap. A movable body, configured to move forward and backward between the first position and the second position, is provided on the transfer path. The movable body has a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism clamps the container with the cap whose knob has been posture-corrected in the first position, and moves the container from the first position to the second position. The clamping mechanism releases the clamping state at a time when the removal of the cap is completed, and returns to the first position.
