<p>A system for supplying articles to a platform (60) rotating about a vertical axis, the platform exhibiting seatings (K) conformed for receiving corresponding articles (10), vertical axes (B) of which are situated on a circumference (C1) which is coaxial to an axis of the platform (60), the vertical axes (B) being angularly equidistanced such as to define a predetermined operating step (Po). The system comprises: a straight-developing line (50), supplied with articles (10), for intermittently transferring the articles (10) at an intermediate step (Ps) which is lower than the operating step (Po) to a terminal station (Q); at least an article pick-up-and-transfer member, interposed between the line (50) and the platform (60), borne by a device (1) activated in phase relation with the movement of the line (50) and platform (60), destined, with an operating head thereof, to engage the article situated at the terminal station (Q) in an inclined direction with respect to the straight development (S) of the line (50), and subsequently to transfer the article to a corresponding seating (K) of the platform (60) in order to define, for the vertical axis (Z) of the article, a trajectory which develops in an arc of circumference (C2) tangential to the circumference (C1) on which the axes (B) of the seatings (K) are arranged and with a peripheral velocity which is equal to a velocity (Vp) of the axes (B).</p> |
