Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0660026A1] The apparatus carries a plurality of gas cylinders (a) held in upright disposition on a turntable (d). Each cylinder (a) is fed onto the turntable (d) at feed-on location, and is fed off at a feed-off location, whilst a detecting head (5) moves downwards to locate the filling valve (a') at the top of the cylinder. If it is angularly misaligned with a radially disposed filling nozzle (7'), the nozzle is rotated around the cylinder (a) until alignment is achieved when the nozzle is engaged and filling takes place. At the end of filling, the nozzle 7' is retracted. <IMAGE>
