Definitions

  • the prior art teaches apparatus for packing bottles which introduce into boxes from above both upright bottles and upturned bottles, in an intercalated fashion.
  • These apparatus basically include two distinct work stations, arranged in series along the packing line the cardboard boxes are transiting on.
  • actuators in the first of the work stations upright bottles, suitably separated, are inserted into the boxes, while in the second station upturned bottles, which have been upturned by special means for doing so, are inserted into the box, thus completing the packing operation
  • the device comprises means for gripping and moving which are suitable for deposing simultaneously a row of upturned bottles in a first box and two rows of upright bottles in a subsequent box.
  • the means for gripping and moving comprise a panel having grippers for holding the neck of upright bottles and, on one side of this first means, gripping means for holding upturned bottles on the recessed base. This panel is suitable for depositing the upright bottles into an empty carton, while the rotated bottles are deposited in a carton in which the upright bottles have been already deposed.
  • the means for gripping and moving 30 comprise a head 31 to which a plurality of first gripping organs 5 are associated, for gripping the upright bottles. Also, a plurality of second gripping organs 6 are associated to the head 31; these are for gripping the upturned bottles.
  • the head 31 is mobile vertically and horizontally in a parallel direction to the advancement direction of the mobile conveyor plane 10, or, in the further embodiment described, the head 31 is mobile vertically and horizontally in a perpendicular direction to the advancement direction of the mobile conveyor plane 10.
  • the first gripping organs 5 each comprise a suction cup
  • the second gripping organs 6 each comprise a suction plunger with a small central piston for enabling a gripping of a bottle by depression at a bottom thereof.
  • other gripping systems could be used, such as mechanical pliers, for example.
