FIELD: transport, package.
SUBSTANCE: proposed device comprises first conveyor to transfer opening devices along first trajectory and second conveyor to transfer packages along second trajectory. Besides, proposed device comprise opening device transfer appliances from loading station arranged along first conveyor to assembly station. Note here that transfer appliances comprise wheel and gripping element supported by said wheel to receive opening devices from first conveyor to feed them onto second trajectory. Note also that transfer appliances additionally comprise connectors to connect gripping element to wheel, and guide appliances to vary position of gripping element during wheel rotation. Note here that said connectors comprise guide and sliding appliances arranged between said wheel and said gripping element and comprising, at least, one guide element attached to said wheel in radial direction relative to axis, and, at least, one sliding element arranged to slide on said guide element, as well as hinges between both said elements to allow gripping element to oscillate about rotational axis. Note here tat gripping element is jointed with hinge component by support frame. Said support frame comprises first part attached to hinge component and second part attached to gripping component to move relative to first part to decrease or increase distance between gripping element and wheel axis relative to certain position of sliding element along guide element.
EFFECT: simple and cheap design, reliable attachment of opening device to packages.
