ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for rotating bottles includes a circular turntable for transferring bottles from an inlet passage to an outlet passage along a circular arc. The bottles are maintained in position on the turntable by two pairs of superposed ratchet wheels which rotate with the turntable. A friction wheel is adapted to be brought into pressing contact with the body of a bottle on the turntable under the action of spring to rotate the bottle about its vertical axis. A cam causes the friction wheel to move at the same speed as the turntable through a specified angle of its rotation, following the rotation of the turntable, and to thereafter return to the original position. When returning to the original position, the friction wheel is moved away from the bottle by a hydraulic cylinder. While in pressing contact with the body of bottle, the friction wheel is rotated by a motor through an electromagnetic clutch.
