An insertion device (20) for a machine for inserting pouring spouts (15) in containers (11) comprises a casing (22) with a seat (25) suitable for receiving a spout to be inserted and for guiding it during the insertion operation, and a thrust element (21) which is moved with a reciprocating rectilinear motion along the seat (25) between a retracted position in which a spout (15) can be received in the seat (25) and a forward position in which the element (21) pushes the spout out of the seat (25) against a container. The thrust element (21) is mounted for sliding on a rectilinear guide (24) spaced from the casing (22) and preferably has a shape which is elongate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of insertion. The thrust element (21) has a first end portion (21a) which is movable in the seat (25) and which can act on a spout (15), and a second end portion (21b) which is slidable along the guide (24). <IMAGE> |
