TRANSFER DEVICE AND FOOD PRODUCT SUPPLY SYSTEM

To make it possible to transfer a vessel on a tray by surely gripping a container.SOLUTION: A transfer device and a food product supply system that are mounted with a gripping section 21 for gripping and releasing a container B so as to be able to move up and down, and is provided with a transfer section 22 that linearly moves by elevating the gripping section 21 gripping the container B at one transfer end and transferring the container B on a tray 24 by lowering the gripping section 21 at the other transfer end. The gripping section 21 is provided with a pair of gripping bodies 21a, 21a capable of horizontally moving to a gripping position where the container B is gripped by approaching each other and a releasing position where the gripping of the container B is released by separating from each other, and in the pair of gripping bodies 21a, 21a, a sandwiching section 21aa sandwiching the container B so as to push up obliquely formed to project inward, a concave section 21ab avoiding a contact at the time of pushing up of the container B sandwiched by the sandwiching section 21aa formed into a concave shape when viewed from the inside, and an abutting section 21ac to which an upper brim section of the container B pushed up by forming above the sandwiched container B are formed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】容器を確実に掴んでトレイ上に移載できるようにする。【解決手段】容器Ｂを把持および把持解除する把持部２１が昇降可能に装着されるとともに直線的に往復動可能に設けられ、一方の移動端で容器Ｂを把持した把持部２１を上昇させて直線的に移動し、他方の移動端で把持部２１を下降させて容器Ｂをトレイ２４上に移載する移載部２２を備える。把持部２１は、相互に接近して容器Ｂを把持する把持位置および相互に離反して容器Ｂの把持を解除する解除位置に水平移動可能な一対の把持体２１ａ，２１ａを備え、一対の把持体２１ａ，２１ａは、内側に突出形成されて容器Ｂを斜めに押し上げるようにして挟み込む挟込部２１ａａと、内側から見て凹状に形成されて挟込部２１ａａで挟み込まれた容器Ｂの押し上げ時の接触を回避する凹状部２１ａｂと、挟み込んだ容器Ｂの上方に形成されて押し上げられた容器Ｂの上縁部が当接する当接部２１ａｃとが形成されている。【選択図】図３
