ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for individually depositing articles comprises a cylinder with a plurality of accommodating apertures, each of which is adapted to accommodate a single article only from a supply. The apparatus is adapted to retain the articles in the apertures and comprises nozzles for removing superfluous articles from the cylinder. Moreover, the apparatus is adapted to release the articles from the apertures. In order to secure that the articles are deposited one by one without any interruptions in the depositing pattern, the apparatus comprises a supplementary cylinder having accommodating apertures corresponding to the accommodating apertures of the cylinder. Also each of the accommodating apertures of the supplementary cylinder is adapted to accommodate a single article only from a supply, the supplementary cylinder also comprises nozzles for removing superfluous articles and is also adapted to retain the articles in the accommodating apertures. Also the supplementary cylinder can release articles from the accommodating apertures. The apparatus has a detector for detecting empty accommodating apertures in the cylinder, and the supplementary cylinder is provided with a stripper which is coupled to the detector in such a way that the stripper removes articles from the supplementary cylinder when articles are present in the corresponding accommodating apertures in the cylinder, whereas the stripper, if this is not the case, permits articles on the supplementary cylinder to pass in such a way that such articles may be deposited instead of the articles lacking in the accommodating apertures of the cylinder.
