Abstract
A device for injecting a product towards a predetermined site of objects continuously moving along a given path while being spaced apart from one another by a specific step. The device (10) includes a series of injectors (26) borne by a mobile support (28) while being spaced apart on the support by a pitch corresponding to that of the objects, and the support (28) is driven in a reciprocating movement such that, during a forward phase of the movement, the injectors (26) move each opposite the predetermined site of one of the objects, and in the time interval of the reciprocating movement of the support is equal to the time interval between the passage of two consecutive objects in front of a common fixed point, multiplied by the number of injectors on the support.
Claims21
A device for injecting a product toward a predetermined location of objects that are moving continuously along a given path while being spaced from each other at a specific distance,
- characterized in that the device has a series of injectors that are carried by a moveable support while being spaced on the moveable support at a distance corresponding to that of the objects, in that the moveable support is driven in a reciprocal movement so that, during an outbound phase of the movement the injectors are each moved in front of the predetermined location of one of the objects, and in that period of the reciprocal movement of the moveable support is equal to the time interval between the passage of two consecutive said objects before a same fixed point, multiplied by the number of injectors on the support.
A device for injecting a product toward a predetermined location of objects that are moving continuously along a periphery of an axis of rotation while being held on a transfer wheel;
- the device characterized by a series of injectors that are carried by a moveable support, wherein the moveable support is driven in a reciprocal movement comprising an outbound and inbound phase, the outbound and inbound phases characterized by time periods of substantially identical lengths;
- and
- wherein the injectors appreciably track the objects during the outbound phase of the reciprocal movement.
