METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CORKING OF VESSELS Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: bottling equipment, for example for corking penicillin vials. SUBSTANCE: turning of cam by a drive moves the first pusher to the cam center of rotation while its other end lifts sleeve and cup with vial by pin until cap comes to bear against upper part of casing. At the same time the end of the second pusher is shifted to cam center. Turning around its axle the second end of the second pusher tensions the flexible link which turns a washer. A roller interacts with guide plate and cannot move in angular direction. As the washer continues turning, the roller comes to the zone with constant surface curvature and further turning is discontinued. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 5 cl, 5 dwg, 1 tbl
