Tube lifting mechanism for use in tube filling machine, has two driven wheels whose movement paths overlap with each other such that set of retainers is arranged in overlapping area and inserted into another set of retainers

摘要

The mechanism (10) has a tube feeder (23) for supplying isolated tubes (T) of a conveying device (11). The conveying device comprises a rotationally driven wheel (13) with a set of circumferentially distributed, edge-side retainers (14), where another rotationally driven wheel (15) is arranged over the former driven wheel and comprises another set of circumferentially distributed, edge-side retainers (16). Movement paths of the two driven wheels overlap with each other such that the former set of retainers is arranged in an overlapping area and inserted into the latter set of retainers.
