A connecting assembly (304) for connecting a multitude of axially extending punches (130, 132) to a rotatable punch drive plate (116, 120) in a rotary press (100) having a die plate (104) supported for rotation in a given plane and forming a multitude of die cavities (126), wherein the multitude of punches are supported for axial reciprocating movement in the die cavities (126), and the drive plate engages the punches and has a generally flat shape extending at an angle to said given plane, and wherein rotation of the die plate and the drive plate reciprocates the punches to force a food material into the die cavities (126), to mold the food material therein into tablets and then to eject the tablets from the die cavities, the connecting assembly (304) comprising a multitude of connecting subassemblies (306), each of the subassemblies connecting a respective one punch (132) to the drive plate for axial and rotary movement therewith as the drive plate rotates. |
