ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for intermittently transferring a suitable number of cylindrical plastic containers using a conveyor, which comprises a vessel stopping and transferring wheel which is rotatably disposed on one side of the conveyor, on which the cylindrical vessels are placed, and which has in the peripheral portion thereof arc-shaped recesses which are engageable with the side surface of the cylindrical vessels; a cam having flat surfaces and operatively connected to the vessel stopping and transferring wheel via toothed wheels; a buffer having at the free end portion thereof a roller slidingly engageable with the flat surfaces of the cam; and a control for disengaging the roller from the flat surfaces of the cam. Owing to the buffer operatively connected to the vessel stopping and transferring wheel via the cam, shocks given to the vessel stopping and transferring wheel when the vessels are thereby stopped are damped remarkably to prevent the vessel stopping and transferring wheel as well as other parts from being worn, damaged or loosened.
