ABSTRACT:
A device and process to facilitate the high speed placement of articles onto moving objects by coordinating the velocity of the articles with the velocity of the moving objects. The device comprises a frame structure, a rotary transfer mechanism having an intermittently oscillating center gear and having a plurality of planetary gears in rotational communication with the center gear. An article transfer mechanism is provided having activatable article holding structure and being in fixed rotational communication with at least one planetary gear to impart orbital motion to the articles being transfered. The orbital motion provided by the article transfer mechanism has at least two outwardly extending apex positions. The device has a drive source and a synchronized advancing mechanism which is constructed and arranged to oscillate the center gear at predetermined times as the article holding structure approach as an apex position of travel.
