Abstract
There is provided an improved vial lid fastening device capable of reliably completing lid fastening in a short time. The vial lid fastening devicehas a lid rotating device, a lid placing member, a transporting device, a first lid body reservoir, a vial lid holding and supplying device, and a vial discharging device. A lid bodyslides on an inclined flat surfaceto reach a terminal mechanism part, and a stepped sectionof the lid bodyengages a stepped section holder. The lid bodyis grasped by chuck clawsand is rotated as engaged to the terminal mechanism partof the stepped section holder. Then, one of rotation regulating protrusionsof the lid bodyis allowed to collide with a rotation preventing memberof the lid placing member. Thus, position determination in a rotation direction is performed with reference to the rotation regulating projectionsand such position is maintained fixedly. Thereafter, the lid bodyis mated with the vial bodyand then rotated by a chuck.
