Abstract
In an inspection device of possible foreign matters included in transparent containers (20), the transparent containers (20) are successively loaded through a loader rotor (11) on to respective rotatable stands (8) arranged along the circumference on an inspection rotor (1). Each of plural motors (M) mounted on the inspection rotor (1) is coupled to one or more of the rotatable stands (8) carrying each of the containers (20). Each of the motors (M) together with the concerned rotatable stands (8) and the container (20) carried thereon are individually rotated according to one of predetermined rotation patterns (P1, P2 and P3). A picture image of the container (20) is subsequently taken so as to inspect foreign matters possibly included in the liquid.
