- 容器検査機(20)の送出ステーション(34)における、非円形容器(30)の方向を制御するための装置であって、コンベヤ軸(26)を中心に回転可能であり前記容器が中に個別に配置されるポケット(28)を周縁に備えている回転コンベヤ(22)を有し、
前記装置は、
前記コンベヤに隣接して配置され前記コンベヤ軸に平行な支柱(54)を中心に回転可能であるフリッパーアーム(50)と、
前記フリッパーアームを、前記支柱を中心に前記コンベヤに向けて付勢するバネ(64)と、を備え、
前記フリッパーアームは、カム面(52)であって、前記コンベヤにより運ばれる容器が前記送出ステーションに接近して前記バネに抗して前記フリッパーアームを前記コンベヤに対して外方にカム作用させる際に前記容器に係合するように配置され、前記支柱から離れて延びるカム面(52)を有し、
前記フリッパーアームは、前記容器が前記カム面との係合から移動して外れ、前記フリッパーアームが前記バネの力で内方に回転する際に、前記容器を係合および回転させる、前記カム面の前記支柱から離れて配置された端部(76)を有し、
前記フリッパーアームは、前記ポケットが前記コンベアの回転によって送出ステーションに搬送されたとき、前記バネの力で内方に回転することによって、前記ポケット内の非円形容器を前記フリッパーアームの端部で回転させる場所に配置されている、
ことを特徴とする装置。 - 前記フリッパーアーム(50)は、軸の周りを旋回するように取付けられ、前記バネ(64)は、前記フリッパーアームを前記軸の周りで前記コンベヤ(22)の方へ付勢する、
請求項1に記載の装置。 - 前記カム面(52)は、凹状である、
請求項2に記載の装置。 - 前記フリッパーアームの前記端部(76)は、前記軸から離れた前記カム面(52)の末端部にある、
請求項3に記載の装置。 - 前記フリッパーアームは、前記端部(76)から延びる、直線状の連接面(78)を含む、
請求項4に記載の装置。 - 前記コンベヤの動きに対して前記フリッパーアームの上流で前記コンベヤに隣接して配置され、前記フリッパーアームとの係合の前に前記容器に係合し、所定の配向に回転させる可撓性の弾性フラップ(42)を備えている、
請求項1に記載の装置。 - 前記支柱(54)は、溝(74)を有する支持板(56)上に取付けられ、
前記フリッパーアームは、前記溝を通って延在するピン(72)を有し、前記バネ(64)は、前記支柱を取り囲み、前記ピンと係合する1つの末端部(70)と前記板に連結された第2の末端部(66)とを有するコイルバネを含む、
請求項1ないし6のいずれか1項に記載の装置。 - 長幅寸法を有するフラスコ型容器(30)が、回転コンベヤ(22)により搬送される際に、前記容器を配向する方法であって、
(a)まず、前記容器の前記長幅寸法が前記コンベヤの軸の接線方向になるように、前記容器を配向するステップと、その後、
(b)前記容器の前記長幅寸法が、前記コンベヤの前記軸の半径方向になるように、前記容器を再配向するステップと、
(c)前記容器の前記長幅寸法を、前記回転コンベヤの前記軸の半径方向に、および前記線形コンベヤの長手寸法と平行に、線形送出コンベヤ(36)上に、前記容器を置くステップと、を含む、
ことを特徴とする方法。
