FIELD: transporting devices. SUBSTANCE: unloading device in form of constantly moving closed loop tape and continuously rotating disk is installed at outlet end of high-speed continuous action device intended for decoration of cylindrical cans. Decorated cans are transferred to disk in position when open ends of cans are pointed backwards and are entrained by front surface of rotating disk, being pressed to front surface by rarefaction forces directed backwards. Cans are transferred by disk in position close to section of tape moving upwards and are conveyed onto tape under action of rarefaction forces directed forwards. These forces act onto cans through section of tape moving upwards, thus pressing closed ends of cans to tape moving upwards. Rarefaction forces directed backwards act through disk, being applied in sections of disk or its angular positions chosen to improved can-to-disk transfer conditions. Rarefaction forces directed backwards are applied intermittently in those sections of disk i.e. in its angular positions, where cans are conveyed from disk to tape. If decorated cans are made of material containing iron, magnetic forces can be used for conveying and holding the cans. EFFECT: improved reliability of operation. 20 cl, 7 dwg
