Abstract (en)

Capping head for a capping machine, intended to fit caps onto bottles or the like, which is supported removably via connecting means (2) by a corresponding hollow sleeve (3) mounted peripherally on a rotating carousel of the said machine. Each head (1) is provided with actuator means (4) which rotate about a central axis (Z) of the head (1) so as to fit a cap on the top of a container, retaining it thereon by means of a screw-type connection. According to the invention, the connecting means (2) are formed by a first element (5) mechanically connected to the sleeve (3) and by a second element (6) mechanically connected to the top of the head (1), which elements can be removably coupled together by means of fast-fit engaging means (7). <IMAGE>
