ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for applying closures to containers held by grippers and moving in a row on a conveyor. The closures are fed from a supply into pockets on a star wheel which delivers them to closure carriers mounted to an applicator wheel which rotates in a plane parallel to and above the closure path of movement, about an axis perpendicular to that of the star wheel. Rotation of the closures carried by the carriers on the applicator wheel is synchronized with the rate of movement of the containers, and the closures are brought into converging alignment with the containers. The applicator wheel has optional means for pressing the closure partially or wholly to a final applied position on the containers, and/or for rotating them while still carried by the carriers to desired torque level.
