Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0507156A1] Apparatus for conveying closure caps in capping machines, having a transporting channel (2) supplying the caps lying next to one another in a row, carriers (4) for the caps, which carriers (4) run in the transverse direction past the end region (3) of the transporting channel (2) on a closed path, and a conveying device (5) moving the caps from the end region of the transporting channel into the path of the carriers, characterised in that directly adjoining the end region (3) of the transporting channel (2) in the movement direction of the carriers (4) is a guiding groove (6) for the caps, having directing elements (7a, 7b) running on both sides of the path of the carriers (4), and in that the conveying device (5) is designed in such a way that it introduces the frontmost cap in each case from the end region (3) of the transporting channel (2) at least partially between the directing elements (7a, 7b) before the arrival of the associated carrier (4), and, if necessary, holds it there until the carrier (4) arrives. <IMAGE>
