Abstract: A bottle gripping assembly kit including a bottle gripping finger assembly having bottle grip arms and an actuator for actuating the bottle gripping finger assembly for selectively grabbing and releasing a bottle. The actuator including a plurality of actuator heads and a base, wherein a selected one of the actuator heads can be connected to the base dependent on the size of the bottle. The plurality of actuator heads each have engagement surfaces adapted to abut the bottle grip arms to force the first ends of the bottle grip arms towards each other. Each of the actuator heads has a distance between the engagement surfaces that is different than a distance between the engagement surfaces of the remaining actuator heads, thereby allowing the selected one of the actuator heads to be selected depending on the size of the bottle.

Abstract: A container-conveying segment includes a driving conveyor and a driven conveyor that couple to each other at a handoff area at which containers are transferred from one to the other. The conveyors comprise star wheels that rotate in opposite directions about their respective vertical machine axes. The rotors interact with one another at the handoff area. A drive couples to the driving conveyor but not to the driven conveyor. The driving conveyor transfers torque to the driven conveyor at a torque-transfer area.

Abstract: A holding device for holding a container, for example for holding a container in a transport device of a beverage filling plant is described. The holding device includes a fastening part and two gripping arms, which are pivotably connected to the fastening part and can be brought into a closed position in order to hold the container and can be brought into an open position in order to insert and remove the container. A preloaded elastic bow is disposed between the gripping arms, and the elastic bow can be brought into a first position, in which the gripping arms are in the open position, and into a second position, in which the gripping arms are in the closed position. The preload of the elastic bow in the first position holds the gripping arms in the open position and the preload of the elastic bow in the second position holds the gripping arms in the closed position.

Abstract: An apparatus for receiving, from a wide container stream upstream from the apparatus, single-lane container streams and creating package units of containers includes a separating and/or combining unit, application elements, and a linear transporter. The unit separates and/or combines containers to form partial packaged units that are then combined into a package unit. The application elements are disposed so that at least one container of a package unit has, on a contact surface thereof, adhesive or glue. The linear transporter comprises transport elements circulate along a guide element, and a controllable drive. Each transport element of the linear transporter comprises as many head guides as there are containers in the package unit, each of which is axially movable or rotatable relative to the transport element.

Abstract: An installation for transporting containers, the installation comprising a rotary platform (1, 2) provided in its periphery with slots (7.1, 7.2), a jaw (8.1, 8.2) being mounted on the platform in the vicinity of each slot in order to be movable between a closed position for holding a container in the slot and an open position. Each jaw comprises a resilient element (9.1, 9.2) having a portion (9.11, 9.21) fastened to the platform in the vicinity of the slot in order to have a free end (9.12, 9.22) that extends facing the slot and that is elastically deformable between a rest state in which the free end co-operates with a side wall of the slot to define a section smaller than the cross-section of the neck, and a deformed state in which the free end cooperates with the side wall of the slot to define a section greater than the cross-section of the neck.

Abstract: A system for adjusting at least the vertical setting between a first transport device and a second transport device in a transport section for preforms for plastic containers. The first transport device has at least one outlet unit for accepting preforms from the second transport unit and a rail unit for further transport of the preforms, the outlet unit firstly being connected to the rail unit and secondly being arranged such that it can be moved freely with respect to the second transport device. Furthermore, the first and the second transport devices are connected to one another via an adjusting unit, it being possible for the height of at least the outlet unit to be adjusted with respect to the second transport device by the adjusting unit.

Abstract: To exhaust a holding rail that has been emptied by a simple mechanism after pushing a plurality of spout-equipped bags from the holding rail to a transfer rail.An elongated-shape holding rail 14 aligning and holding many spout-equipped bags W in a straight line is moved to transfer positions c1 to c4 by a rail supply part 80. The conveyed holding rail 14 is held by a retention mechanism 3 in a state of being opposite to a transfer rail 60. A pushing member 52 reciprocates in a longitudinal direction of the holding rail 14 by having a bag conveying face 52b3, which contacts on the spout-equipped bag hung from the holding rail 14 and pushes the spout-equipped bag toward the transfer rail 60, and a rail pushing face 52b2, which contacts on the holding rail 14 and exhausts opposite the transfer rail 60. A lift mechanism is provided to move the pushing member 52 downward when the pushing member 52 moves forward, and to move the pushing member 52 upward to the height where the rail pushing face 52b2 interferes to the holding rail 14 when the pushing member 52 moves backward.
