Abstract:
1. A fastening device in combination with a changeable attachment for a container handling station comprising: a first member; and a second member; and said changeable attachment mounted to one of the first member and the second member; the first member having one or more guides; the second member formed as a fitting counterpart to said first member, wherein said attachment can be transferred into a fastened position by uniting and rotating said first and second members relative to each other in a first rotational direction; and wherein the first member further comprises: a fixed stop which in the fastened position engages a first portion of the second member and thereby prevents rotating said first and second members relative to each other in the first rotational direction; and a snap section comprising an elastic, radially snapable section, wherein the snap section forms a radially shiftable stop, which in the fastened position engages a second portion of the second member and without application of any external force prevents said first and second members from rotating relative to each other in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction and fastens said first and second members relative to each other, and wherein said snap section serving as said radially shiftable stop is arranged to be shifted radially by radially directed force such that the snap section no longer engages the second portion of the second member in a manner to prevent said first and second members from rotating relative to each other in the second rotational direction and thereby said attachment can be rotated from the fastened position and removed from said container handling station when coupled to the respective first and second members.
