ABSTRACT:
A continuously rotating rotor has pockets in its periphery for transporting bottles. The rotor operates next to two star-wheel conveyors rotating at lower peripheral speed and oppositely of the rotor. With each second pocket of the rotor is correlated a cam controlled slide member which gradually transfers the vessels at a first transfer point into the more slowly travelling pockets of the first star-wheel conveyor. The other pockets of the rotor lying therebetween have cam controlled clamps which bring each second bottle to a second transfer point whereby means of two stationary guide members it is gradually transferred into the more slowly traveling pockets of the second star-wheel conveyor. Between the pitch circles of the rotor pockets and the pitch circles of the star-wheel conveyors there is a space somewhat less than the bottle diameter. By transfer of the vessels from the rotor into the two star-wheel conveyors, a perceptible reduction of the conveyor speeds is possible. The star-wheels discharge the bottles in two rows on associated linear conveyors, thus dividing the speed again.
