摘要： A gripper includes grip members which are mounted on a first rotary shaft and a second rotary shaft, respectively, so as to be opened and closed. An engaging pawl is formed on an upper surface of the grip member. Both shafts are elevatable in an integral manner. A receptacle member is disposed below an exit star-wheel, and is arranged to rotate integrally with the star-wheel. The gripper is located below the flange of the vessel when receiving the vessel. Accordingly, the engaging pawl cannot contact the flange. When the vessel is depressed by the capping head during a capping operation, the engaging pawl engages the vessel. When the vessel is discharged, the vessel remains suspended above the receptacle member, and the gripper then descends to place the vessel on the receptacle member and to disengage the engaging pawl of the gripper. Accordingly, there is no scarring of the vessel when the vessel is introduced into and discharged from the screw capper, and a stable conveyance of vessels is enabled.

摘要翻译： 夹具包括分别安装在第一旋转轴和第二旋转轴上以便打开和关闭的夹持构件。 在把手构件的上表面上形成接合爪。 两个轴都可以整体升高。 插座构件设置在出口星轮下方，并且被布置成与星轮一体旋转。 当收到容器时，夹具位于容器的法兰下方。 因此，接合爪不能接触凸缘。 当在封盖操作期间容器被封盖头压下时，接合爪接合容器。 当容器排出时，容器保持悬挂在容器构件上方，然后夹具下降以将容器放置在容器构件上并使夹持器的接合爪脱离。 因此，当将容器引入螺旋封口机并从螺旋封口机排出时，不存在容器的疤痕，能够稳定地输送容器。
