Abstract:
A transfer system for transferring thermoplastic material containers ( 3 ) from a linear operating machine to a rotary operating machine, comprising —a first linear transfer device ( 2 ) apt to pick the containers from the linear operating machine in a picking zone (A) and to translate along a first axis (X) from the picking zone (A) to an exchange zone (B) and vice versa, —a wheel ( 32 ) cooperating with the rotary operating machine peripherally provided with seats ( 34 ) for the containers, and apt to rotate about a second axis (Z) perpendicular to the first axis, at least one second linear transfer device ( 112 ) apt to pick the containers from the first linear transfer device in the exchange zone (B), and to transfer them to the seats, said at least one second linear transfer device being apt to translate parallel to the first axis (X) from the exchange zone (B) to an unloading zone (C) proximal to the wheel, and vice versa.

Claim (Index 1):
A transfer system for transferring thermoplastic material containers from a linear operating machine to a rotary operating machine, comprising\n a first linear transfer device apt to pick the thermoplastic material containers from the linear operating machine in a picking zone A and to translate along a first axis X from said picking zone A to an exchange zone B, and vice versa, a wheel apt to cooperate with the rotary operating machine peripherally provided with seats for the thermoplastic material containers, and apt to rotate about a second axis Z perpendicular to the first axis X, at least one second linear transfer device apt to pick the thermoplastic material containers from the first linear transfer device in said exchange zone B, and to transfer them to said seats, said at least one second linear transfer device being apt to translate parallel to said first axis X from the exchange zone B to an unloading zone C proximal to the wheel, and vice versa, wherein the first linear transfer device is provided with retaining means for retaining the thermoplastic material containers and the at least one second linear transfer device is provided with gripping means for picking the thermoplastic material containers from corresponding retaining means in the exchange zone B, said retaining means being equally spaced apart by a first pitch equal to the pitch of said gripping means, wherein the seats are equally spaced apart by a second pitch which is different from said first pitch, and wherein the seats are shaped so that a periphery of the wheel has a sawtooth-shaped profile.
