(54) Improvements to automatic machines feeding small wire cages for sealing stoppers applied to sparkling wine bottles and the like


(57) The machine comprises a unit (10) for extracting cages from a stacked supply including two volute rollers (12, 13) which engage the bottom ring of each cage to cause an axial displacement of the latter and means of transferring the extracted cages to sockets (23) in a conveyor chain (24), comprising a plurality of buckets (21) subjected to controlled motion components which halt each bucket (21) temporarily at the extraction unit (10) to receive the cage and displace the bucket (21) in perpendicular alignment with each socket (23) in the chain (24), the buckets (21) being then subjected to the action of means (27, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37) which produce axial displacement serving for picking up and respectively depositing the cages.
