The lid shaping device includes: container placing table; container lifter; lid shaping unitincluding container mouth press, annular coil springarranged in a cylindrical holder, and pusher provided above the annular coil spring and having spring pressing inner circumferential surface; and pusher driver. The device operates in the order of first lifting by the container lifter until upper part or middle part of the lid skirt is located on the inner side of the annular coil spring, lowering of the pusher for lowering the container until the spring pressing inner circumferential surface reduces the diameter of the annular coil spring, and second lifting by the container lifter for lifting the container until the lower end of the lid skirt is located on the inner side of the annular coil spring.

Lid shaping device

A continuous rotary filling and packaging machine covers a container body with a molded lid and ultrasonically seals the container body. The molded lid to produce a sealed container includes a lid detecting devicedisposed on the downstream side of the lid supplying deviceand an ultrasonic sealing deviceincluding lifting and lowering means including a cam mechanism for lifting and lowering a container table. The lifting and lowering means is configured such that the molded lid on the container body and a seal working surface of an ultrasonic horncome into press-contact with each other at a top dead point of the container table. A container table lowering control mechanism does not lift, to the top dead point, a container table of a container whose container body does not have the molded lid placed thereon or properly placed thereon as determined.
