  • Patent number: 4955783
    Abstract: The device comprises two facing parallel walls and a back wall, which forms a stacking station where two facing pairs of series of discs, which form eccentrics, act on related rings, which feature teeth, which in turn work alternately and in conjunction with one another to lift and pile up blister packs supplied to the station by a feed line, and ears fitted with arms in order to control the rotation of the rings.
