  • Apparatus For Transporting and Applying Markings to Containers
    Publication number: 20240010378
    Abstract: A machine (328) is selectively operative to transport containers and apply markings such as labels, sleeves, decorations and indicia to the containers (340). The machine includes a suspended container conveyor (SC) (320). SC shuttles (336) are engaged with and selectively independently movable around an SC track (330). The SC shuttles include a respective container engagement fixture (338) and are selectively movable to engage an upper portion of a container. In the container engaged position each container is selectively vertically, rotatably and linearly movable so as to be positioned in operative connection with applicators (434, 436). The applicators are selectively operative to apply markings to respective containers that are in operative connection therewith in a precise and repeatable manner.
