  • the bases 60 each have two tori 61, extending in parallel planes, and each stretched over two pulleys 62 mounted in rotation on the filling module 6, 6A. Each pair of tori 61 thus forms a receiving surface 64 for a bottle 2 (cf. fig. 4 , 5A-5E , 11A-11E ).
  • each module 6 is equipped with three arms 63, mounted to pivot along each base 60, between an inactive position in which they extend in a plane of speed. perpendicular to the receiving surface 64 formed by the tori 61 and an active position in which they extend in a plane parallel to the receiving surface 64, facing the latter. More precisely, the pivoting of the arms 63 is actuated by means of a jack 67 to which they are connected by rods 66.
  • each arm 63 makes it possible to transfer each bottle 2 from the conveyor belt 13 to the receiving surface 64 of a base 60. Furthermore, each arm 63 is shaped so as to be able to match the base of a bottle 2 when it is placed in. its active position, and thus contributes to the perfect locking in position of a bottle 2 on a base 60 during its manipulation by the filling module 6.
  • the bases 60 are provided with wedges 88 delimiting the receiving surfaces 64.
  • the bottles 2 are transferred from the conveyor belt 13 to the bases 60. by means of an arm 63A in "L" having a branch 85 extending parallel to the conveyor belt 13 and mounted in horizontal translation on the bases 60 along a Z axis perpendicular to the conveyor belt 13 between an inactive position in which the branch 85 is located along an outer edge 86 of the conveyor belt 13 and an active position in which the branch 85 is located along an internal edge 87 of the conveyor belt 13, near the bases 60 (cf. figures 11B, 11C ).

  • the three bottles 2 are conveyed up to each module 6, 6A by the conveyor belt 13, in such a way that they are each located in front of a receiving surface 64.
  • the modules 6, 6A then switch to their position in which the receiving surfaces 64 of the bases 60 extend in a plane perpendicular to the conveyor belt 13 and to the deposit zone 71, that is to say parallel to the 'axis of symmetry of the bottles 2 placed vertically on the conveying plane 13.
  • the arms 63 of the filling mold 6 are placed in their inactive position, near the base of the bottles 2, perpendicular to the receiving surfaces 64, along each base 60.
  • a pivoting of the arms 63 towards their active position then drives each bottle 2 towards the receiving surface 64 which faces it, and keeps it locked against the latter.
  • the "L" arm 63A is also placed in its inactive position, its branch 85 extending along the outer edge 86 of the conveyor belt 13.
  • a translational movement horizontal arm 63A along the Z axis allows its branch 85 to be driven in the direction of the bases 60.
  • the bottles 2 are driven in the same direction when the branch 85 comes into contact with them and continues to travel to the bases 60
  • the bottles 2 are then held against their respective receiving surfaces 64 by means of the "L" arm 63A.
  • a new tilting of the modules 6, 6A then makes it possible to reposition the receiving surfaces 64 in the plane of the conveyor belt 13, and of the deposit zone 71, directly in front of the latter, driving the bottles 2 towards a position in which their axis of symmetry extends horizontally.
  • Such a rotation of the modules 6, 6A around their center of gravity makes it possible to avoid any manipulation of the bottles 2 by an operator, in particular for them. lift and replace them, and therefore considerably limits any untimely fatigue.
  • a rod 14, of axis parallel to the receiving surface 64 of each base 60 (cf. fig. 5A and 5C ) and extending, in its active position ( fig. 5C , 11C ), in the extension of a face 65 of the base 60 oriented in the direction of the conveying plane 7, 7A when the receiving surface 64 is placed in the plane thereof, makes it possible to facilitate the insertion of the bottles 2 into a body 3, 3A by resting on a lower flap 36, preventing the latter from positioning itself on the path of the bottles 2.
  • each module 6, 6A further comprises a bar 68, integral with the tori 61, extending transversely to the latter at the level of one end 69 of each base 60 extending in front of the conveyor belt 13.
  • the receiving surface 64 is placed in the plane thereof (cf. fig. 4 ).
  • the bottles 2 are held against each receiving surface 64, their base 20 is in abutment against an edge 70 of the bar 68.
  • the toruses 61 the latter is moved in translation in the direction of the plane of conveying 7, 7A on which rests a box 3, 3A.
  • the bar 68 moves freely in translation along each receiving surface 64 and makes it possible both to move the bottles 2 in translation along the latter in the direction of a box 3, 3A and to proceed to their complete insertion into it.
  • the tori 61 rotate freely and simply act as a receiving surface 64 for the bottles 2.
  • the installation 1A advantageously comprises a module 100 for closing the containers 3A, also housed by the frame 10, and comprising means for automatically closing the containers 3A, integral with the conveying plane 7A.
  • the automatic closing means may comprise means for automatically bringing the flaps 36 that the containers 3A include to a closed position of said containers 3A and means for automatically applying to said containers 3A holding means, such as for example a piece of a roll of adhesive tape 102, flaps 35, 36, 37 in the closed position of the containers 3A.
  • the automatic closing means comprise two pairs of pivoting hooks 103, defined here by sections of flat profiles in the shape of "C”, mounted symmetrically on either side of the median axis of the conveying plane 7A le along opposite edges of the pivoting plate 101, and intended for closing the side flaps 37. They also include two pivoting fingers 108 intended for closing the lower flaps 36, also integral with the rotating plate 101, and mounted symmetrically along opposite edges of the latter.
  • the automatic closing means also comprise two extraction belts 104 extending parallel to the X axis, above the conveying plane 7A, and each provided on their lower face with two studs 105 spaced apart from each other by a distance f greater than the width i (which corresponds to the distance between the fold lines 38) of a container 3A.
  • the straps 104 are intended for closing the upper flaps 37.
  • the pivoting hooks 103 are mounted in rotation on the rotating plate 101, around a horizontal axis 109 perpendicular to the X axis, between an active position (cf. fig. 12B ) and an inactive position (cf. figures 12A and 12C ). More precisely, in their inactive position illustrated in figure 12A , they are arranged in a plane both perpendicular to the conveying plane 7A and parallel to the X axis, below the plate 10, their small branches 107 pointing in opposite directions. In their active position shown in figure 12B , they have rotated by half a turn, and are always arranged in a plane both perpendicular to the conveying plane 7A, and parallel to the X axis.
  • the extraction belts 104 are movable in vertical translation between an inactive high position and an active low position.
  • inactive position cf. figures 12A and 12B
  • active position cf. fig. 12C
  • they are located at a height of the conveying plane 7A such that the studs 105 are located away from the upper face 73 of the turntable 101 by a distance j1 less than the depth p of an deployed container 3A.
  • the two pairs of hooks 103 and the two fingers 108 pivot from their inactive position illustrated in figure 12A to their active position shown in figure 12B .
  • the hooks 103 and the fingers 108 bear respectively on the side flaps 37 the lower flaps 36 which are then gradually folded towards the closed position of the container 3A.
  • a 45 ° cutout of the flaps 36, 37 allows them to fit into each other and remain in the closed position reached.
  • the plate 101 pivots a quarter of a turn, for example, clockwise, which allows the upper flaps 35 of the container 3A to be placed perpendicular to the extraction belts 104. These then move towards their active lower position.
  • the studs 105 are supported on the upper flaps 35 of the container 3A and lead them towards their position of complete closure of the container 3A (cf. fig. 12C ).
  • the hooks 103 and the fingers 108 return to their inactive position below the rotating plate 101.
