INFORMATION READER OF INJECTION CONTAINER
First Claim
1. An information reader of an injection container to read information attached on an outer peripheral surface of the injection container in a tubular shape, the information reader of the injection container comprisinga container clamping mechanism removably clamping side portions of the injection container whose cylinder length direction is made approximately horizontal,wherein the container clamping mechanism comprisesa pair of first clamping bodies arranged on one side of the side portions of the injection container and arranged to face each other while separating in the cylinder length direction,a second clamping body arranged on another side of the side portions of the injection container and capable of entering between the pair of the first clamping bodies, anda driving mechanism allowing the pair of the first clamping bodies to advance or retreat in a direction that is the horizontal direction and is almost orthogonal to the cylinder length direction, and allowing the second clamping body to advance or retreat in a direction opposite to the direction of advancing or retreating of the first clamping bodies,wherein each of the pair of the first clamping bodies comprisesa first clamping unit having a first recess in an approximate doglegged shape that bends toward a direction allowing a vertex to separate from the side portion when viewed from the cylinder length direction, anda first arm portion projecting approximately horizontally from a lower end portion of the first clamping unit in a direction opposite to the first recess, with its upper edge continuing to a lower end of the first recess,wherein the second clamping body comprisesa second clamping unit having a second recess in an approximately reverse doglegged shape formed to face against the first recess, anda second arm portion projecting approximately horizontally from a lower end portion of the second clamping unit in a direction opposite to the second recess, with its upper edge continuing to a lower end of the second recess, andwherein the driving mechanism allows the pair of the first clamping bodies and the second clamping body that are substantially facing each other to move approachingly and separatingly, and, at a time of approaching, the first arm portion and the second arm portion are overlapped to support the injection container from below.

Abstract
An information reader of an injection container that includes a container clamping mechanism clamping side portions of the injection container, the container clamping mechanism includes a pair of first clamping bodies arranged on one side of the side portions of the injection container, and a second clamping body capable of entering between the pair of the first clamping bodies. Each of the pair of the first clamping bodies includes a first clamping unit having a first recess in an approximate doglegged shape, and a first arm portion projecting approximately horizontally from a lower end portion of the first clamping unit. The second clamping body includes a second clamping unit having a second recess in an approximately reverse doglegged shape formed to face against the first recess, and a second arm portion projecting approximately horizontally from a lower end portion of the second clamping unit.
