Abstract (en)

A device (1) for feeding rolling bodies (2) into containers (3) has a filling station (8) housing an inlet (9) through which a stream of rolling bodies flows by force of gravity; the device has a succession of supporting members (25a, 25b), each for supporting a relative container, and which are conveyed in steps by a powered table (14) about a vertical axis (15) under the control of a unit (50), to feed a further container into the filling station (8) when a preceding container (3) has been filled with a predetermined number of rolling bodies (2); and the stream of rolling bodies (2) is cut off as the table (14) is rotated and/or in the absence of an empty container at the filling station.
