Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for overturning containers such as bottles having a bottom which is not flat. The machine has a fixed base which supports rotational movement of devices for gripping/releasing, raising/lowering, and overturning the containers. Sensors are used for controlling and actuating the corresponding operating sequences associated with each device.

Abstract: Machine for filling containers (2) comprising a base (1a) and interchangeable elements for guiding (3) and moving (4) the said containers (2), which are supported by columns (11) joined to said base (1c), characterized in that it comprises automatic devices (10) for rapidly locking/releasing the said guiding and moving elements (3,4), which are coaxially inserted inside said support columns (11) and act on means (7;107) fixed to the said guiding and moving elements (3,4).

Abstract: A valve for the metered delivery of fluids to be supplied to containers and the like, comprising a body and a closing cover inside which there is formed a chamber which is supplied with the fluid to be delivered to the container and provided with an obturator which is integral with the rod of a piston of a cylinder inside the body of the valve and can be operated in both directions for opening/closing of an aperture for communication with the outside of said chamber, there also being provided an outlet; for delivery of the fluid, which is mounted on the valve coaxially with the aperture thereof.

Abstract: A capping assembly includes at least one tube fixed to a spindle of an automatic machine and provided with a piston and cylinder unit for axially displacing a bush operatively connected with the tube and formed with a shaped recess to releasably engage a respective formation on a cup support upon displacement of the piston in the cylinder.
