Embodiment Construction

[0057] exist figure 1 In , an embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown, wherein said holding means 4 are combined with a pin system used during the transfer of the capsules from the distribution wheel to the transfer wheel (not shown). Such a pin system is used and described eg in WO-A-2011 / 024068, Apparatus and method for inserting a capsule into a filter tow. Wherein a plurality of pins are distributed on the circumference of the distribution wheel. The positions of the pins correspond to the radial grooves or delivery channels in the distribution wheel. The pins are arranged so that their ends are housed in the respective delivery channels. The pin consists of an actuator, bushing, body and end. In WO-A-2011 / 024068 the pin is guided in a fixed double cam which moves the pin up and down according to its circumferential position. In this dual cam configuration with upper and lower cams, where the pins are actuated by a cam follower located between the ...

Abstract

Apparatus for the transportation of objects comprising a reservoir (20) with an outlet for providing a plurality of objects and a distribution wheel (2) rotatable in a substantially horizontal plane. The distribution wheel (2) is in communication with the outlet of the reservoir (20) and is capable of transporting the objects from a central portion (22) of the distribution wheel (2) to a peripheral portion of the distribution wheel (2). The apparatus further comprises a retention device (1) for holding the objects back on the distribution wheel (2), the retention device (1) comprises a retention element (11) and an actuator (10) adapted to move the retention element (11) from a release position in which the objects can be transported from the central portion (22) to the peripheral portion of the distribution wheel (2), into an object blocking position in which the transportation of the objects is interrupted. The actuator (10) is adapted to move the retention element (11) into an object blocking position independent of a rotational position of the distribution wheel (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for conveying articles. For example, these items may be substantially solid. Background technique [0002] Apparatus and methods for conveying items are known. For example, International Patent Application WO-A-2011 / 024068 discloses an item delivery system for capsules, wherein the capsules are transferred from a reservoir to a horizontally rotating distribution wheel. By rotation of the distribution wheel, the capsules are conveyed to the peripheral portion of the distribution wheel, where they are transferred into grooves in a vertically rotatable transfer wheel. The transfer wheel transfers the capsule to a position where it is released from the groove and inserted into the filter tow. [0003] Generally, in machines according to the prior art, when production needs to be interrupted, eg for maintenance, solid objects continue to be conveyed until the machine comes to a complete stop. Typica...
