A chuck device having a pair of arms rotatably supported by arm shafts and an operation member. One of the arms is provided with a roller shaft rotatable together with the arm about one of the arm shafts. The other arm is provided with an arm drive portion rotatable together with the arm. The arm drive portion is biased so as to press a second roller. Between the operation member and the roller shaft is provided a motion input mechanism for converting the motion of the operation member to rotational motion of the roller shaft about the arm shaft as the center of rotation. Between the roller shaft and the arm drive portion is provided an interlock mechanism that causes the arm drive portion to rotate about the arm shaft in conjunction with the motion of the roller shaft about the arm shaft as the center of rotation.

A container inspection apparatus inspects sealing performance of a closure of a container such as a bottle filled with effervescent beverage. The apparatus include a plurality of support members for placing a container thereon and movable along a certain path, a plurality of ultrasonic transducers fixed to one of the support members for generating ultrasonic vibration, and a supply device for supplying liquid to an upper surface of the support member. The ultrasonic vibration of the support member caused by the ultrasonic transducer is transmitted to a bottom of the container through liquid interposed between the bottom of the container and the upper surface of the support member. After vibrating the bottom of the container, beverage in the container is imaged by an imaging unit to detect a defective container which is not sealed properly.
