ABSTRACT:
An improved cap tightening turret is of the type which includes a plurality of cap tightening spindles. The cap tightening spindles are mounted around the outer periphery of the turret. The turret includes a number of pedestals for respectively supporting a plurality of containers. Each of the spindles is for supporting a cap with each pedestal for movement of the neck of the container thereon into the spindle for causing the cap to be tightened by rotation onto the container. Each of the containers has an outwardly extending handle. A first type of container has the handle thereof disposed at a first radial distance thereon and a second type of container has a handle thereof disposed at a second radial distance thereon with the second radial distance being larger than the first radial distance. The improvement includes a single rotational prevention element mounted on each spindle. The single rotational prevention element extends towards the container for circumferential abutting alignment only with the handle thereof. The rotational prevention element includes selective adjustment means for selectively adjusting a relative radial position thereof with respect to the spindle to a first position for alignment with the handles of the first type of container and to a second position for alignment of the handle of the second type of container.
