Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0631932A1] For the automatic assembly of containers which comprise two generally cup-like bodies (2, 3) which fit together by engagement of their open ends, a structure (11) is provided which defines a duct in which the bodies (2, 3) are made to advance against each other by pusher means (15, 16). The duct has at least one radially-contractible portion (18) whereby, during the end-to-end engagement of the two cup-like bodies (2, 3), elements (S, F) contained in at least one body and liable to project radially from the open ends which are coupled radially, are contained, thereby avoiding any interference with the end-to-end engagement movement. <IMAGE>
