Abstract:
1. A transfer device, comprising: a mandrel wheel; and a transfer wheel, respectively driven to rotate about rotation axes that are parallel to one another and which respectively include supports in their peripheries for objects to be imprinted or processed otherwise, wherein the supports at the mandrel wheel pivot so that a distance of the supports at the mandrel wheel from a rotation axis of the mandrel wheel is variable between a minimum distance and a maximum distance, and the mandrel wheel and the transfer wheel are arranged adjacent to one another so that objects are transferrable from a transport device through the transfer wheel to a respective support at the mandrel wheel or vice versa from the mandrel wheel through the transfer wheel to a transport device, wherein the supports are respectively attached to the transfer wheel through a transfer pivot arm so that they are pivotable about a pivot axis, wherein the pivot axis extends parallel to the rotation axis of the transfer wheel and the pivot axis has the same fixated distance from the rotation axis for each of the supports, wherein control devices are included which cause a support at the transfer wheel transferring an object and a support at the mandrel wheel receiving the object to run through a common path curve section in a transfer portion for an identical path velocity, wherein the path curve section is circular or substantially circular.
