  • the handling head (10) is moved by means of its jack (22); it is brought to the level of the bottle handling station (5), with its stock of tools (11), as shown figure 10 .
  • the handling head (10) is positioned above the display units (23) which are free to deposit the tools (11) to be stored.
  • the latches (41) are actuated simultaneously, as detailed previously in connection with the figure 8 and, to promote the ejection of said tools (11), the pressure is established in said tools which has the effect of clamping each tool (11) on the skirt (28) of the corresponding display (23) and, simultaneously, of exerting pressure on the rod (42) of each tool (11).
  • the head (10) can then go up, as shown figure 14 , and it shifts laterally, as shown figure 15 .
  • this offset makes it possible to verify, with the help of the sensors (51), that all the couplers (13) are free.
  • These sensors (51) are, for example, distributed on either side of the median vertical plane of the plate (16).
  • the offset can continue in order to place the couplers (13) above the displays (23) and the head (10) can go down, as shown Figures 16 and 17 , to support the other group of tools (11) whose tulips are better suited to the new bottle format.
  • the head (10) automatically adapts to the spacing of the displays (23) on the tray (16) of the magazine (15). Indeed, these displays (23) are distributed on the plate (16) regularly with the same spacing which allows to have a relatively universal magazine (15) capable of accommodating different kinds of groups of gripping tools .
  • the plate (16) is shown with two groups corresponding to two models of tools (11) in the different figures, but it can comprise three groups and more depending on the versatility of the installation.
  • the handling head (10) When the handling head (10) is equipped with the new tools (11) for gripping, it can go up as shown Figures 18 and 19 and, at the same time, the sensors (50) verify that all the tools have left their display (23).
  • the new bottles (2) to be cashed, small format, can then arrive at the support station.
  • the magazine (15) is retracted out of the position (5) of support, to release the passage and the head (10) handling can resume its packing rates for the new format of bottles.
  • cylinders (2) of particular shape which need, for example, to be maintained in an unchanged position between their handling by the head (11) gripping and their deposit at the cash desk by this same head. This is particularly the case of square-shaped bottles for which it is necessary to keep the same position between the one they occupy at the conveyor (1) supply and that they will have in the box (7) packaging.
  • the coupler may comprise, for example, a pin, not shown, which cooperates with a slot of complementary shape arranged on the rod (42) of each tool (11).
