Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Transport von blockförmigen (Zigaretten-)Packungen, insbesondere zur Übergabe derselben von einer Förderbahn an einen Trocken- Revolver, mit einem Überführungsrevolver, der eine Anzahl von radial außen und seitlich offenen Taschen zur Aufnahme der Packungen aufweist, wobei die Taschen quer bewegbare, insbesondere schwenkbare Taschenwände aufweisen, die zur Aufnahme und Abgabe von Packungen auseinanderbewegbar sind durch Abstützen von Schwenkhebeln der Taschenwände auf eine hin- und herbewegbaren Kurvenscheibe.The invention relates to a device for transporting block-shaped (cigarette) packs, in particular for transferring them from a conveyor track to a drying turret, with a transfer turret which has a number of radially outer and laterally open pockets for receiving the packs, the Bags have transversely movable, in particular pivotable, pocket walls which can be moved apart for receiving and dispensing packs by supporting pivoting levers of the pocket walls on a cam plate which can be moved back and forth.

Eine derartige Übergabevorrichtung für Zigaretten-Packungen ist in der DE-OS 24 40 006 vorbeschrieben. Der dort gezeigte Übergaberevolver dient zur Aufnahme von Zigaretten-Packungen von einer geradlinigen Zuförderbahn an einen Trockenrevolver (Fig. 13) der DE-OS 24 40 006. Der Überführungsrevolver ist mit Taschen versehen, die für die Aufnahme von zwei in Radialrichtung nebeneinanderliegenden Packungen bestimmt und ausgebildet sind. Diese werden in Radialrichtung in die offenen Taschen - mit auseinanderbewegten Taschenwänden - eingeführt und in Axialrichtung aus den Taschen aus- und in Taschen eines Trockenrevolvers eingeschoben. Die so ausgebildete Vorrichtung zur Übergabe von Packungen an einen Trockenrevolver gewährleistet keinen ausreichend sicheren Transport der jeweils zwei in einer Tasche angeordneten Packungen.Such a transfer device for cigarette packs is described in DE-OS 24 40 006. The handover turret shown there is used to hold cigarette packs from a straight feed conveyor to a dry turret (Fig. 13) of DE-OS 24 40 006. The transfer turret is provided with pockets which are designed and designed to hold two packs lying next to one another in the radial direction. These are inserted in the radial direction into the open pockets - with the pocket walls moved apart - and are pushed out of the pockets in the axial direction and inserted into pockets of a drying turret. The device designed in this way for the transfer of packs to a drying turret does not ensure a sufficiently safe transport of the two packs arranged in one pocket.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Transport von (Zigaretten-)Packungen dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln und zu verbessern, daß der Überführungsrevolver eine höhere Leistung bei sicherem Transport der Packungen ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to further develop and improve a device for transporting (cigarette) packs in such a way that the transfer turret enables higher performance with safe transport of the packs.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß zum gleichzeitigen Aufnehmen, Fördern und Übergeben von zwei Packungen der Überführungsrevolver zwei in einer Ebene in Revolverumfangsrichtung hintereinanderliegende Taschen aufweist, deren Taschenwände durch Paare von Schwenkhebeln gleichzeitig in Öffnungs- oder Schließstellung bewegbar sind.To achieve this object, the device according to the invention is characterized in that for simultaneously receiving, conveying and transferring two packs of the transfer turret has two pockets one behind the other in a plane in the revolver circumferential direction, the pocket walls of which can be moved simultaneously in the open or closed position by pairs of pivot levers.

Die Taschen sind jeweils zur Aufnahme einer einzelnen Packung ausgebildet. Die nebeneinander angeordneten zwei Taschen werden gleichzeitig (von unten) mit je einer Packung beschickt. Diese werden ebenfalls gleichzeitig durch Radialausschub an Taschen eines Trockenrevolvers oder eines anderen Förderorgans übergeben.The pockets are each designed to hold a single pack. The two bags arranged side by side are loaded with one pack at a time (from below). These are also transferred simultaneously to the pockets of a drying turret or another conveyor by radial ejection.

Die Packungen an Seitenflächen erfassenden Taschenwände sind jeweils mit einem schwenkbaren Betätigungshebel verbunden, nämlich Außenwände mit einem Haupthebel und Innenwände mit einem Stützhebel, wobei die Haupthebel mit einer Tastrolle auf dem Umfang einer Kurvenscheibe und die Stützhebel mit einer Stützrolle auf dem Haupthebel bzw. dessen Tastrolle abgestützt sind.The packs on the side walls of the pocket walls are each connected to a swiveling operating lever, namely outer walls with a main lever and inner walls with a support lever, the main levers being supported with a feeler roller on the circumference of a cam disc and the support levers with a support roller on the main lever or its feeler roller.

Aus Gründen der räumlichen Unterbringung sind Haupt- und Stützhebel derselben Tasche in einer gemeinsamen Ebene angeordnet, versetzt zu Haupt- und Stützhebel der benachbarten Taschen. Jeweils ein Haupthebel und ein Stützhebel einer anderen, benachbarten Tasche sind auf einer gemeinsamen Drehachse gelagert. Diese wiederum sind zwischen zwei im Abstand voneinander angeordneten Revolverscheiben angeordnet, diese miteinander verbindend.For reasons of spatial accommodation, the main and support levers of the same pocket are arranged in a common plane, offset from the main and support levers of the adjacent pockets. A main lever and a support lever of another, adjacent pocket are each mounted on a common axis of rotation. These in turn are arranged between two turret disks spaced from one another, connecting them to one another.

Der erfindungsgemäße Überführungsrevolver ermöglicht durch einfache Funktionsabläufe eine gesicherte Betätigung der Taschen, derart, daß im Bereich einer Aufnahmestation jeweils zwei Packungen in nach unten weisende, offene Taschen eingeführt und im Bereich einer Übergabestation in Axialrichtung an den Trockenrevolver übergeben werden können, wobei im Bereich der Aufnahmestation die Taschenwände weit geöffnet, im Bereich der Übergabestation aber nur geringfügig geöffnet sind.The transfer turret according to the invention enables simple operation of the pockets to be actuated securely, such that in the area of a pick-up station two packs are inserted into downward-facing, open pockets and can be transferred in the area of a transfer station in the axial direction to the dry turret, in the area of the pick-up station the pocket walls are wide open, but are only slightly open in the area of the transfer station.

Die gezeigte Vorrichtung ist Teil einer Verpackungsmaschine, insbesondere für (Zigartten-) Packungen 10, 11 des Typs Klappschachtel (Hinge-Lid-Packung). Ein Beispiel für den übrigen Teil der Verpackungsmaschine ist in der DE-OS 24 40 006 dargestellt und beschrieben. Die gezeigte Vorrichtung ist im Anschluß an eine Packungsbahn 12 für den geradlinigen Transport der fertiggestellten Packungen 10, 11 angeordnet. Es geht darum, die Packungen 10, 11 nach Abschluß der Faltvorgänge an einen Trockenrevolver 13 zu übergeben, in dem die Packungen 10, 11 zum Stabilisieren der Form und zum Austrocknen von Leimstellen verweilen. Der Trockenrevolver 13 ist demnach mit einer Vielzahl längs des Umfangs angeordneter Trockentaschen 4 zur Aufnahme jeweils einer Packung 10, 11 ausgerüstet.The device shown is part of a packaging machine, in particular for (cigar type) packs 10, 11 of the folding box type (hinge-lid pack). An example of the remaining part of the packaging machine is shown and described in DE-OS 24 40 006. The device shown is arranged after a packing line 12 for the straight transport of the finished packs 10, 11. It is a matter of transferring the packs 10, 11 to a drying turret 13 after the folding operations have been completed, in which the packs 10, 11 remain to stabilize the shape and to dry out glue spots. The drying turret 13 is therefore equipped with a plurality of drying pockets 4 arranged along the circumference for receiving a pack 10, 11, respectively.

Bei der gezeigten Vorrichtung geht es darum, zwei gleichzeitig hergestellte und auf der Packungsbahn 12 nebeneinander geförderte Packungen 10, 11 entsprechend weiter zu fördern und gleichzeitig an den Trockenrevolver 13 zu übergeben. Dieser ist mit zwei Taschenkränzen 15, 16 aus einer Reihe von dicht nebeneinanderliegenden Trockentaschen 14 ausgerüstet. Zwei in Radialrichtung nebeneinanderliegende Trockentaschen 14 werden gleichzeitig mit Packungen 10, 11 beschickt.The device shown is concerned with further conveying two packs 10, 11 produced simultaneously and conveyed next to one another on the packing path 12 and at the same time to transfer them to the drying turret 13. This is equipped with two pocket wreaths 15, 16 from a series of drying pockets 14 lying close together. Two drying pockets 14 lying side by side in the radial direction are simultaneously loaded with packs 10, 11.

Die Übergabe der beiden Packungen 10, 11 von der Packungsbahn 12 an den Trockenrevolver 13 erfolgt durch einen Überführungsrevolver 17. Dieser ist längs des Umfangs mit mehreren Paaren von nebeneinanderliegenden Taschen 18, 19, 18a, 19a.. versehen. Jeweils zwei Taschen 18, 19.. liegen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene ausgerichtet nebeneinander und bilden eine Tascheneinheit 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. Demnach sind fünf Tascheneinheiten 20..24 mit jeweils zwei Taschen 18, 19; 18a, 18b.. polygonartig in Umfangsrichtung nebeneinander angeordnet. Der Überführungsrevolver 17 erhält dadurch insgesamt die Gestalt eines regelmäßigen Fünfecks.The transfer of the two packs 10, 11 from the packing web 12 to the drying turret 13 takes place by means of a transfer turret 17. This is provided with several pairs of pockets 18, 19, 18a, 19a. Two pockets 18, 19 .. are aligned next to each other and in a common plane form a pocket unit 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. Accordingly, five pocket units 20..24, each with two pockets 18, 19; 18a, 18b .. arranged side by side in the manner of a polygon in the circumferential direction. The transfer turret 17 thereby receives the shape of a regular pentagon overall.

Die Taschen 18, 19; 18a, 18b.. sind so ausgebildet, daß in einer unteren Position im Bereich einer Aufnahmestation 25 die beiden Packungen 10, 11 von der Packungsbahn 12 in Aufwärtsrichtung in die Taschen 18, 19.. bei annähernd radialgerichteter Bewegung eingeführt werden können. Die Übergabe der Packungen 10, 11 von der Packungsbahn 12 an den Überführungsrevolver 17 kann in analoger Weise zu der DE-OS 24 40 006 erfolgen (Fig. 12 und 13 dieser Schrift). Danach - bei geschlossenen Taschen 18, 19.. - wird der Überführungsrevolver 17 um einen einer Tascheneinheit 20, 21.. entsprechenden Winkelbereich weitergeschaltet, bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn. Die Packungen 10, 11 werden so durch den Überführungsrevolver 17 bis in den Bereich einer Übergabestation 26 gefördert. Hier erfolgt - bei leicht geöffneten Taschen 18, 19.. - der Ausschub der Packungen 10, 11 in achsparalleler Richtung in die Trockentaschen 14 der beiden Taschenkränze 15 und 16, die während der Übergabe auf die Taschen 18, 19.. ausgerichtet sind. Zur Überführung der Packungen 10, 11 an den Trockenrevolver 13 sind entsprechende hin- und herbewegbare Schieber 27, 28 den Taschen 18, 19.. in der Übergabestation 26 zugeordnet.The pockets 18, 19; 18a, 18b .. are designed such that, in a lower position in the area of a receiving station 25, the two packs 10, 11 can be inserted from the packing web 12 in the upward direction into the pockets 18, 19 .. with approximately radial movement. The packs 10, 11 can be transferred from the pack web 12 to the transfer turret 17 in a manner analogous to DE-OS 24 40 006 (FIGS. 12 and 13 of this document). Then - with the pockets 18, 19 .. closed - the transfer turret 17 is advanced by an angular range corresponding to a pocket unit 20, 21 .., in the embodiment of FIG. 1 counterclockwise. The packs 10, 11 are thus conveyed through the transfer turret 17 into the area of a transfer station 26. Here, with the pockets 18, 19 slightly open, the packs 10, 11 are ejected in the axially parallel direction into the dry pockets 14 of the two pocket rings 15 and 16, which are aligned with the pockets 18, 19 during the transfer. In order to transfer the packs 10, 11 to the drying turret 13, corresponding reciprocable slides 27, 28 are assigned to the pockets 18, 19 .. in the transfer station 26.

Die Taschen 18, 19; 18a, 19a.. bestehen jeweils aus zwei Taschenwänden, nämlich einer Außenwand 29, 30 sowie einer Innenwand 31, 32. Diese sind so geformt, daß sie die Packungen 10, 11 in geschlossener Stellung halten, andererseits aber auch die Einführung in die Taschen 18, 19.. ermöglichen. Zu diesem Zweck sind die in Radialrichtung kürzeren Außenwände 29, 30 an den äußeren Rändern mit einem abgewinkelten Halterand 33 versehen. Die Innenwände 31, 32 weisen ein Verlängerungsstück 34 auf, welches bei offenen Taschen 18, 19 (Fig. 1 und 2 unten) eine trichterförmige Stellung einnimmt und dadurch das Einführen der Packungen 10, 11 in die Taschen 18, 19 in Radialrichtung erleichtert. Ein Rücksprung 35 bildet einen Anschlag für die Halterung der Packung 10, 11 in der Tasche.The pockets 18, 19; 18a, 19a .. each consist of two pocket walls, namely an outer wall 29, 30 and an inner wall 31, 32. These are shaped in such a way that they hold the packs 10, 11 in the closed position, but on the other hand also the insertion into the pockets 18 , 19 .. enable. For this purpose, the outer walls 29, 30, which are shorter in the radial direction, are provided with an angled holding edge 33 on the outer edges. The inner walls 31, 32 have an extension piece 34 which, when the pockets 18, 19 (FIGS. 1 and 2 below) are open, assumes a funnel-shaped position and thereby facilitates the insertion of the packs 10, 11 into the pockets 18, 19 in the radial direction. A recess 35 forms a stop for holding the pack 10, 11 in the pocket.

Die Außenwände 29, 30 und Innenwände 31, 32 sind an schwenkbaren Betätigungshebeln gelagert. Die Außenwände 29, 30 sind jeweils mit Haupthebeln 36, 37 verbunden. Die Innenwände 31, 32 sitzen an Stützhebeln 38, 39. Die vorgenannten Hebel 36..39 sind als zweiarmige Hebel ausgebildet. An den freien Enden der Haupthebel befinden sich Tastrollen 40, 41. Diese laufen auf dem Umfang von Kurvenscheiben - bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel von zwei nebeneinander angeordneten und in gleicher Weise gestalteten Kurvenscheiben 42, 43 - ab. Die zwei Kurvenscheiben 42, 43 sind deshalb vorgesehen, weil die Tastrollen 40, 41 aufgrund der Anordnung der Hebel in verschiedenen Ebenen versetzt zueinander liegen.The outer walls 29, 30 and inner walls 31, 32 are mounted on pivotable actuating levers. The outer walls 29, 30 are each connected to main levers 36, 37. The inner walls 31, 32 are seated on support levers 38, 39. The aforementioned levers 36..39 are designed as two-armed levers. At the free ends of the main levers there are feeler rollers 40, 41. These run on the circumference of cam disks - in the present exemplary embodiment of two cam disks 42, 43 arranged next to one another and designed in the same way. The two cams 42, 43 are provided because the feeler rollers 40, 41 are offset from one another due to the arrangement of the levers in different planes.

Die Stützhebel 38, 39 werden durch die Haupthebel 36, 37 im schwenkenden Sinne beaufschlagt, und zwar durch Anlage von Stützrollen 44, 45 an Tastrollen 40, 41 zugeordneter Haupthebel 36, 37. Die Relativstellung der Tastrollen 40, 41 zu den Stützrollen 44, 45 ist derart, daß eine Bewegung der Tastrollen 40, 41 in Radialrichtung eine entsprechende Bewegung der Stützrollen 44, 45 und damit ein Verschwenken der Stützhebel 38, 39 zur Folge hat. Eine in diesem Sinne radial nach außen gerichtete Bewegung bewirkt ein Verschwenken der Stützhebel 38, 39 im öffnenden Sinne der Innenwände 31, 32.The support levers 38, 39 are acted upon by the main levers 36, 37 in the pivoting sense, namely by the support of support rollers 44, 45 on the main levers 36, 37 assigned to feeler rollers 40, 41. The relative position of the feeler rollers 40, 41 to the support rollers 44, 45 is such that a movement of the feeler rollers 40, 41 in the radial direction results in a corresponding movement of the support rollers 44, 45 and thus a pivoting of the support levers 38, 39. A movement directed radially outwards in this sense causes the support levers 38, 39 to pivot in the opening sense of the inner walls 31, 32.

Die Kurvenscheiben 42, 43 sind mit Erhöhungen 46, 47 im Bereich der Aufnahmestation 25 und mit weiteren Erhöhungen 48, 49 im Bereich der Übergabestation 26 versehen. Letztere haben eine geringere radiale Abmessung als die Erhöhungen 46, 47, so daß im Bereich der Übergabestation nur eine geringe Öffnungsbewegung stattfindet, die ausreichend ist, um eine zwängungsfreie Verschiebung der Packungen 10, 11 in achsparalleler Richtung zu ermöglichen. Die Kurvenscheiben 42, 43 werden zur Durchführung einer Öffnungs-und Schließbewegung der Taschen 18, 19; 18a, 19a.. in Umfangsrichtung hin- und hergehend bewegt, und zwar längs eines Drehwinkels 50 von 20°. Die Relativstellung der Kurvenscheiben 42, 43 mit den Erhöhungen 46..49 zu den Haupthebeln 36, 37 und deren Tastrollen 40, 41 ist so gewählt, daß lediglich die Haupthebel 36, 37 der Taschen 18, 19 im Bereich der Aufnahmestation 25 und der Taschen 18c, 19c im Bereich der Übergabestation beaufschlagt sind. Die entsprechende Drehbewegung der Kurvenscheiben 42, 43 erfolgt bei Stillstand des Überführungsrevolvers 17 im übrigen, so daß die Erhöhungen 46..49 an den Tastrollen 40, 41 unter Durchführung eines radial gerichteten Hubes an diesen vorbeibewegt werden.The cams 42, 43 are provided with ridges 46, 47 in the region of the receiving station 25 and with further ridges 48, 49 in the region of the transfer station 26. The latter have a smaller radial dimension than the ridges 46, 47, so that only a slight opening movement takes place in the area of the transfer station, which is sufficient to enable the packs 10, 11 to be displaced without constraint in the direction parallel to the axis. The cams 42, 43 are used to perform an opening and closing movement of the pockets 18, 19; 18a, 19a .. moved back and forth in the circumferential direction, namely along an angle of rotation 50 of 20 °. The relative position of the cams 42, 43 with the elevations 46..49 to the main levers 36, 37 and their feeler rollers 40, 41 is selected so that only the main levers 36, 37 of the pockets 18, 19 in the region of the receiving station 25 and the pockets 18c, 19c are acted upon in the area of the transfer station. The corresponding rotary movement of the cams 42, 43 takes place when the transfer turret 17 is at a standstill, so that the elevations 46..49 on the feeler rollers 40, 41 are moved past them by performing a radially directed stroke.

Die Hebel 36..39 sind auf radial außenliegenden Drehachsen 51, 52 gelagert. Die Anordnung ist so getroffen, daß auf einer gemeinsamen Drehachse 51 sowohl ein Haupthebel 37 als auch ein Stützhebel 38 zweier unterschiedlicher, benachbarter Taschen (z.B. der Taschen 18 und 19d) gelagert sind. Gleichermaßen sind auf der benachbarten Drehachse 52 der Haupthebel 36 und ein Stützhebel 39 gelagert, beide Hebel unterschiedlichen, "übereck" benachbarten Taschen zugeordnet. Durch diese Drehlagerung der Hebel 36..39 ist die beschriebene Betätigung durch die beiden Erhöhungen 46, 47 bzw. 48, 49 möglich.The levers 36..39 are mounted on radially outer axes of rotation 51, 52. The arrangement is such that both a main lever 37 and a support lever 38 of two different, adjacent pockets (e.g. pockets 18 and 19d) are mounted on a common axis of rotation 51. Similarly, the main lever 36 and a support lever 39 are mounted on the adjacent axis of rotation 52, both levers assigned to different, "corner" adjacent pockets. Through this rotary mounting of the levers 36..39, the described actuation by the two elevations 46, 47 and 48, 49 is possible.

Die Hebel 36..39 kehren selbstätig in die Ausgangsstellung zurück durch Stützfedern 53, die bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel zwischen den benachbarten Innenwänden 31, 32 der zu einer Tascheneinheit 20, 21.. gehörenden Taschen 18, 19.. angeordnet sind. Die Stützfedern 53 werden beim Öffnen der Taschen im Sinne des Zusammendrückens beaufschlagt.The levers 36..39 automatically return to the starting position by means of support springs 53 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, are arranged between the adjacent inner walls 31, 32 of the pockets 18, 19 .. belonging to a pocket unit 20, 21 .. The support springs 53 are acted upon when the pockets are opened in the sense of being compressed.

Die Drehachsen 51, 52 und die Hebel 36..39 sind zwischen zwei im Abstand voneinander angeordneten, plattenförmigen Revolverscheiben 54, 55 gelagert. Diese sind durch die Drehachsen 51, 52 miteinander verbunden, wobei die Drehachsen 51, 52 mit endseitigen Drehlagern in den Revolverscheiben 54, 55 Aufnahme finden.The axes of rotation 51, 52 and the levers 36..39 are mounted between two plate-shaped turret disks 54, 55 arranged at a distance from one another. These are connected to one another by the axes of rotation 51, 52, the axes of rotation 51, 52 being accommodated in the turret discs 54, 55 with rotary bearings at the ends.

Die Revolverscheiben 54, 55 sind entsprechend der Gestaltung des Überführungsrevolvers 17 als regelmäßiges Fünfeck ausgebildet. Jeweils im Bereich von geradlinigen Scheibenrändern 56 befinden sich zwei Taschen 18, 19.. einer Tascheneinheit 20, 21.. Die Revolverscheiben 54, 55 sind in diesem Bereich durch einen plattenförmigen Taschenboden 57 miteinander verbunden. An diesem liegen die Packungen 10, 11 an. In Axialrichtung sind die Taschen 18, 19.. an den Seiten offen.The turret disks 54, 55 are designed as regular pentagons in accordance with the design of the transfer turret 17. There are two pockets 18, 19 .. a pocket unit 20, 21 .. in each case in the area of rectilinear disk edges 56. The turret disks 54, 55 are connected to one another in this area by a plate-shaped pocket bottom 57. The packs 10, 11 rest against this. The pockets 18, 19 .. are open on the sides in the axial direction.

Zur optimalen Unterbringung der Hebel 36..39 mit den zugeordneten Teilen zwischen den Revolverscheiben 54, 55 sind die Hebel 36..39 in mehreren, im vorliegenden Falle in zwei in Axialrichtung zueinander versetzten Ebenen auf den Drehachsen 51, 52 gelagert. Die jeweils einer Tasche 18, 19.. zugeordneten Haupthebel 36 bzw. 37 einerseits und Stützhebel 38 bzw. 39 andererseits liegen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene. Bei der Darstellung gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 liegen der Haupthebel 36 und der Stützhebel 38 der Tasche 18 in einer vorderen Ebene der Zeichnung. Demgegenüber sind der der Tasche 19 zugeordnete Haupthebel 37 und der zur selben Tasche 19 zugehörende Stützhebel 39 in einer zurückgesetzten, rückwärtigen Ebene des Überführungsrevolvers 17. Die mit den Hebeln 36..39 verbundenen Taschenwände, nämlich Außenwände 29, 30 und Innenwände 31, 32, sind jeweils mittig auf die Taschen 18, 19.. ausgerichtet. Die Hebel 36..39 sind, soweit aufgrund der Ebene der Lagerung vorgegeben, außermittig, also versetzt, mit den Taschenwänden 29..32 verbunden (Fig. 3 und 4).To optimally accommodate the levers 36..39 with the assigned parts between the turret disks 54, 55, the levers 36..39 are mounted on the axes of rotation 51, 52 in a number of planes, in the present case in two planes offset in the axial direction. The main levers 36 and 37 on the one hand and support levers 38 and 39 on the other hand, each assigned to a pocket 18, 19 .. lie in a common plane. 1 and 2, the main lever 36 and the support lever 38 of the pocket 18 lie in a front plane of the drawing. In contrast, the main lever 37 assigned to the pocket 19 and the support lever 39 belonging to the same pocket 19 are in a recessed, rear plane of the transfer turret 17. The pocket walls connected to the levers 36..39, namely outer walls 29, 30 and inner walls 31, 32, are each centered on the pockets 18, 19 .. The levers 36..39 are eccentric, that is to say offset, with the pocket walls, insofar as they are specified based on the level of the bearing 29..32 connected (Fig. 3 and 4).
