ABSTRACT:
A transfer device for products, in particular aluminum cans, conveyed by a first transport system, which are transferred from the first transport system in groups in the form of a row aligned in the first transporting direction to a second transport system, wherein the placement of the products on the second transport system takes place in such a way that the row extends transversely in respect to its transporting direction. The transfer device includes a pickup mechanism holding the respective group of products during the transfer movement, the pickup mechanism being guided along a movement track by at least one drive linkage, wherein the drive linkage has a first arm which is pivotably connected at one end to a first shaft on the pickup mechanism and by its other end is pivotably connected to a second shaft on a rotating drive crank, and with a second arm, which is pivotably connected to a third shaft on the first arm and is pivotably connected to a fourth shaft, which is a fixed shaft. A first compensating weight is associated with the first arm.
