Method for placing a lid (4) onto a container (5) and apparatus therefor, the method comprising the movement of a container having a rim (6) at the opening of it, a lid being provided by a supply means (2) being positioned so that the rim (7) (at the side of the lid pointing downwards) can touch the rim of the container (at the side of the container pointing forwards), the lid being positioned by a pusher bar (3) to allow the rims to grip, the pusher bar providing forces onto the lid to maintain the gripping of the rims of said lid and said container while the lid is released from the supply means, and the lid being positioned onto the opening of the container. The placing of the lid onto the container takes place while the container moves, and so, the method and apparatus are in particular suitable for placing lids onto containers while the containers move without intermittance of velocity or moving direction being required. |
