Spacing guide for conveyed containers

摘要

The spacing guide defines paths (A-D) for guiding the containers (R) above a conveyor with a curved trajectory (1). The paths are defined by a pair of guides (3-7) each formed by two rectilinear guide portions (3A-7B) interrupted by a curvilinear guide (3C-7C) with radii of curvature (r3-r7) which are less than the radii (R3-R7) of the curved sections at the level at which the guide is positioned. One pair of guides can be subdivided into multiple sets of guide subsections.
