Abstract
An apparatus for transferring objects (2), in particular caps (2), from a molding carousel (3) on which the caps (2) are molded, to an evacuating device (6), comprises: —a supporting element (11) that is rotatable around a rotation axis (X1) and is suitable for receiving said objects (2) and, —arm means (13) that is rotatable around said rotation axis (X1) and comprising seat means (16) that is suitable for receiving said caps (2); the arm means (13) is movable so as to vary the distance of the arm means (13) from said rotation axis (X1), in particular it is movable radially with respect to the rotation axis (X1) to slide the objects (2) on the supporting element (11).
Claims15
Apparatus for transferring objects along a transferring path that extends from a removing zone to a delivery zone, comprising:
- an arm arrangement that is rotatable around a rotation axis and comprising seat elements that are suitable for receiving said objects, said arm arrangement being movable so as to vary the distance of said arm arrangement from said rotation axis;
- a supporting element that is rotatable around said rotation axis and is suitable for receiving said objects, said arm arrangement being movable so as to vary the distance of said arm arrangement from said rotation axis to move said objects with respect to said supporting element;
- and
- a lateral guide element extending around said supporting element along at least part of said transferring path and cooperating with the seat elements and with the supporting element to guide the objects laterally during transferring from the removing zone to the delivery zone.
