<p>A cup turret carousel (105) includes a gear drive track (110) around a periphery thereof, to be driven by a planetary drive gear (102) rather than being driven from the central axis and thereby reduce cost and achieve greater accuracy in aligning a cup turret with the cup funnel throat (103) for cup delivery. The drive gear (102) is maintained in a in a fixed position relative to a cup funnel throat (103) through which cups pass when dropped, so that the same drive assembly may be employed with cup turret carousels of different diameters.</p> |
