Abstract
In an apparatus (S) for coating bottles (F), comprising a coating station (A) which contains at least one section of a conveyor track (G) for bottle conveying bodies (T), comprising a bottle holder (H) in each conveying body (T), comprising covering elements (E) which are associated with the conveying bodies and which can be moved between passive and covering positions, and comprising a bottle detector (P) which cooperates with a covering element displacement apparatus (V), the covering elements (E) are disposed directly on the conveying bodies (T) and are aligned towards the bottle holders (H).
Claims15
An apparatus for coating bottles, particularly beverage bottles consisting of plastics, comprising a coating station (A) which contains at least one section of a conveyor track (G) for bottle conveying bodies (T), comprising a bottle holder (H) in each conveying body, comprising bottle holder covering elements (E) which are associated with the conveying elements (T) and which can each be moved between a passive position and a covering position, and comprising a bottle detector (P) which detects the presence or absence of a bottle (F) on the bottle holder (H) and which cooperates with a covering element displacement apparatus (V), characterised in that the covering elements (E) are disposed directly on the conveying bodies (T ) and are aligned towards the bottle holders (H).
A bottle conveying body (T) of an apparatus for coating bottles (F), comprising a bottle holder and conveyor elements (5, 6) which can be brought into engagement with a conveyor track (G), characterised in that a covering element (E), which can be moved in relation to the bottle holder (H) between a passive position and a covering position, is provided directly on the conveying body (T), and that the covering element (E) can be moved to and fro automatically between these positions under the influence of gravity by changes in position of the conveying body (T) which are determined by the conveyor track.
