Definitions

  • One known apparatus is used for the continuous uncasing of bottles, glass or the like and is provided with gripper elements which are mounted on chains trained about horizontal axes.
  • the gripper elements engage the respective articles, such as the bottles, glasses or the like, which are advanced on a conveyor belt in an upwardly open case, with the conveyor belt moving in parallelism with the direction of movement of the lower run of the endless chain.
  • the case is engaged by a lifting table from beneath and is advanced forwardly with a speed equalling the speed of advancement of the gripper elements, while simultaneously being lowered about the axis of the arm carrying the table.
  • the conveyor 1, here illustrated as a belt-type or straight-type conveyor 17, moves at a speed which is slightly higher than that of the engaging elements 16, to assure that the individual cases 14 are pressed firmly against the elements 16 so that the cases 14 which are to be uncased are properly centered under the gripper heads 8 which move with the same linear speed.
  • An apparatus for transferring groups of discrete articles between two parallel paths comprising first advancing means for advancing groups of discrete articles in a first path towards a transfer station; second advancing means for advancing groups of discrete articles in a parallel second path above and transversely spaced from said first path, away from said transfer station; and transfer means at said transfer station for engaging the articles ofeach group at said transfer station in said first path, transferring the thus engaged articles as a group transversely of said first path to said second path, and for depositing said articles onto said second path for movement parallel to said first path
  • said transfer means comprising at least one device located at said transfer station and movable vertically and horizontally with reference to said paths and including a horizontally acting telescopic cylinder and piston unit provided with piston rod sections and a plurality of vertically movable units provided on said piston rod sections, a plurality of gripping units pivotally connected to said vertically movable units, and displacing means mounting said device and being movable about a horizontal axis extending transversely
