<p>A device comprises an arm (21) pivoting on and supported by a shaft (22) positioned between a station (9), where a sealed blister strip (10) is cut into individual blister packs (11), and a blister pack infeed conveyor (15). The arm (21) is made up of two pieces (23a,23b) fitted with suction cups (24a,24b), and oscillates between two positions (P1, P2), so that in a first position the suction cups are at the cutting station (9), on the smooth surface (11a) of a blister pack just cut, while in a second position they are at the side of a pickup bucket (17), on the infeed conveyor (15). The suction cups are actuated in the first position, so that the blister pack can be picked up, and then the suction cups are disenabled in the second position, so that the blister pack (11) can be fed into the bucket (17), with deep-drawn blisters turned upwards. Sidepieces (40) provide for centering the blister pack in respect of the longitudinal axis of said infeed conveyor, while infeeding the blister pack into the bucket. <IMAGE></p> |
