Abstract
A conveyance device, particularly relating to a shaking pocket star wheel for conveying containers, with a carrier, a reception element and a reception opening for the conveyed material. The reception element is fixed against the force of a spring in a manner so it can be withdrawn and swiveled about an axis of rotation. To simplify the construction of the conveyance device, and to make the design more universal and operationally reliable, a spring is arranged in such a manner that the force is applied substantially at a right angle to the conveyance direction.
Claims20
Conveyance device such as for use with a star wheel for conveying containers or preforms along a conveyance direction, comprising a carrier, at least one reception element which is provided with a reception opening for conveyed material, the at least one reception element fixed against the force of a spring in a manner so it can be withdrawn and swiveled about an axis of rotation relative to the carrier, and the force of the spring (13, 29) being substantially applied at a right angle with respect to the conveyance direction (F).
Conveyance device such as for use with a star wheel for conveying containers or preforms along a conveyance direction, comprising a carrier, at least one reception element which is provided with a reception opening for conveyed material, the at least one reception element fixed against the force of a spring in a manner so it can be withdrawn and swiveled about an axis of rotation, and the force of the spring (13, 29) being substantially applied at a right angle with respect to the conveyance direction (F), and a bearing provided as a pivot shift bearing (8, 23), whereby the reception element (4a, 4b) can be both swiveled and also shifted against the force of the spring (13, 29).
Conveyance device such as for use with a star wheel for conveying containers or preforms along a conveyance direction, comprising a carrier, at least one reception element which is provided with a reception opening for conveyed material, the at least one reception element fixed against the force of a spring in a manner so it can be withdrawn and swiveled about an axis of rotation, and the force of the spring (13, 29) being substantially applied at a right angle with respect to the conveyance direction (F), wherein the axis of rotation (9, 25a, 25b) is received in an opening (10, 24a, 24b) of a size larger than the diameter of the axis of rotation (9, 25a, 25b), wherein the opening (10) is a longitudinal hole.
