Bottle reverser or inverter - uses gripping head opened and closed by first cam and swivelled by second cam

摘要

The bottle reverser uses a swivel gripper which is mounted on a rotor and which is opened/closed by a first cam in certain parts of its path. It is swivelled by a second cam in other parts of its path. The second and fourth cam should form a cam piece (5) and are thus probed by the same feeler (4). Gearing (6) between the feeler (4) and gripper (3) converts a first part (I) of the feeler stroke into an opening or closing movement and a second part (II) into the swivel movement. USE/ADVANTAGE - Bottling plants etc. Single feeler and cam system actuates all gripper movements in simple reliable layout.
