Abstract (en)

A linear capper (2) is provided with a piece unit transport mechanism (52). This mechanism (52) transports a scratch piece unit (60) between a cap-receiving position and a setting position in a substantially horizontal plane. The cap-receiving position is a position where the caps (48) are sequentially transferred from the terminating end of the cap transport passage (50) to the scratch pieces (58) of the scratch piece unit (60). The setting position is a position where the scratch piece unit (60) is set above the conveyor (6). A scratch piece unit (60) is on the scratch piece transport mechanism (52). The scratch piece unit (60) moves after an operation unit (18), which moves in accordance with the movement of the conveyor (6). The scratch piece unit (60) is movable in the conveying direction of the conveyor (6), the direction opposite to the conveying direction, and the direction orthogonal to the conveying direction. <IMAGE>
