Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3351482A1] This invention relates to a plate (1) for a labelling machine (10) with a carrousel. The plate (1) comprises a disk-shaped support (3) for a container (9) to be labelled. The disk-shaped support (3) is associable with a bottom (92) of the container (9) and is rotatable about an axis of rotation (30). The plate (1) comprises at least three hooking teeth (41, 42, 43, 44) which are arranged on a teeth-holding member (40) in positions spaced along an arc of a circle that is centred on the axis of rotation (30). Each hooking tooth (41, 42, 43, 44) is insertable in a respective recess (961, 962, 963, 964) made in the bottom (92) of the container (9). The teeth-holding member (40) is movable relative to the disk-shaped support (3) along an axial line, whereby the hooking teeth are movable relative to the disk-shaped support (3) between an engaged position, in which they are inserted in the respective recesses of the container (9) thereby hooking the container (9), and a disengaged position, in which the hooking teeth are not associated with the respective recesses. The disk-shaped support (3) is angularly shiftable relative to the teeth-holding member (20), whereby the container (9) supported by the disk-shaped support (3) is angularly shiftable relative to the hooking teeth (41, 42, 43, 44) for positioning the hooking teeth (41, 42, 43, 44) at the respective recesses (961, 962, 963, 964). The hooking teeth (41, 42, 43, 44) are in positions that are angularly spaced from one another and that overall do not have rotary symmetry relative to the axis of rotation (30). In use, with respective recesses (961, 962, 963, 964) of the container (9) that have corresponding angular distances, the hooking teeth (41, 42, 43, 44) are simultaneously insertable in the recesses (961, 962, 963, 964) for only one mutual angular position of the container (9) relative to the hooking teeth (41, 42, 43, 44). This invention also relates to a labelling machine (10) with a carrousel and a container (9).
