Abstract
A spout supply apparatus including a spout transfer device in which two spout holding devices 43 and 44 are respectively disposed on each end of a reciprocating swing arm 41 that makes a reciprocating swing motion in the horizontal plane through a swing angle of substantially 90 degrees about a supporting shaft 45. Upon the swing motion of the swing arm 41, the spout holding devices 43 and 44 alternatively receive a spout that is at the leading end of a row of lined spouts, at a spout receiving position T and are alternatively moved to spout transfer positions U, thus transferring the spout to the spout clamping member 3 which is at each one of the spout transfer positions U.
