Abstract: A device for shaping containers by folding cardboard sheets, comprising a folding station for folding cardboard sheets, provided with a die; a handling station for handling said sheets from a store to said folding station, with a frame and at least one gripping head that can be moved on the frame and comprises means for grasping and holding said sheet, and also a punch with a complementary shape so as to interact with the inside of said die. The punch comprises a bearing surface for bearing against the bottom of said grasped sheet. The grasping means is mounted so as to be able to move relative to said punch and free to move in at least one plane parallel to said bearing surface. The invention also relates to a corresponding shaping method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a retention device for a product which is compatible with a plurality of different shapes of products, within an industrial line for producing and processing products, comprising a frame with a receiving base which is intended to support the bottom of a product; a gripping means for a product comprising a set of pincers which is provided with two jaws which can be moved between a spaced-apart position and a closed-up position. Each jaw is mounted freely in terms of rotation about a pivot point and has a concave vertical shape in order to retain the product at least at one upper support location and at least at one lower support location. The invention also relates to a conveying installation for products within an industrial line for producing and processing products, comprising at least one retention device according to the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for adjustment of tracks, comprising a mechanism for moving the walls in order to simultaneously adjust the width of different tracks. The device also comprises a system for transverse displacement of the tracks with relation to the medial longitudinal axis of said conveyor. The system comprise a carriage arranged between the support structure for the walls and the mechanism for moving the walls, the carriage being transversely movable and guided by a system of slides arranged at the level of each support structure in order to carry out said transverse displacement of the set of tracks without altering the width thereof. The above arrangement permits the guiding as necessary of lines of bottles or other things, the number of which can vary going from an even number to an odd number.
