  • Cap applying apparatus
    Patent number: 4773204
    Abstract: An apparatus for applying caps on containers in which a primary cap-applicator applies the majority of caps and a secondary cap-applicator applies caps to the containers which have passed the primary cap-applicator without having been provided with a cap. A sensing means is arranged downstream of the primary cap-applicator to detect containers without caps and activate the secondary cap-applicator. This sensing means includes a photocell to detect a container and an inductive transducer to detect the cap on the container.
