ABSTRACT:
A roller-gear drive means for the rotary filler head portion of a container filling machine having a stationary base portion which is equipped with a pair of rotary starwheel units for directing containers into and out of the filler head, comprising a drive motor mounted in the base portion in direct driving relationship with a first of the starwheel units through a pair of gear means secured one to the driveshaft of the motor and one to the mounting shaft of the aforesaid first of the starwheel units. The mounting shaft of said first starwheel unit is further provided with an epi-cycloidal gear extending horizontally inwardly under the filler table portion of the head and engaging the head for rotary motion through a series of roller or pins means supported in equi-circumferentially spaced relation to one another around the periphery of the filler table by fixed, vertical rod means forming a part of the lift assemblies which serve to move the containers into and out of filling positions in the filling head during the course of a container filling cycle. The mounting shaft of the other of the starwheel units also carries an epi-cycloidal gear arranged in the horizontal plane of the roller or pin means of the container lift assemblies and adapted to be engaged by said pin means in the operation of the filler so as to be rotated in a predetermined fixed relation with the head and with the other starwheel unit.
