  • Automatic distributor for container covers
    Patent number: 6560946
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a distributor that enables covers to be fitted automatically on containers in a chamber without requiring assistance from an operator. It mainly comprises a slider (5) mounted to slide between two plates (3 and 4). The queued covers (2D) are positioned on a lowering and introducing system (11) equipped with three double-fingers (20) that enable the last bottom cover to be selected in each cycle in order for it to drop onto the slider (5). A carrier cell (7) in said slider is used to displace the selected cover towards a positioning cell (9) of the lower plate (4) and drop it onto a container that has been previously introduced by said cell.
