Abstract:
A machine for automatically setting in place products into receiver alveoli comprises essentially an alignment device (10) for aligning the products (11), which device is designed to arrange the products in lines in a plurality of columns, a device (12) for depositing aligned products into the receiver alveoli (14) and a device (13) for transporting said alveoli. The deposition device comprises a dispenser member (17) comprising a feed pin wheel comprised of a drum (19) provided with pins (20) radially arranged at the periphery of said drum. A control mechanism comprising a drive wheel (24) fitted with a roller (23) drives the feed pin wheel via rollers (22) mounted on a disc (21) which is integral with the drum (19). The device for transporting the receiver alveoli (14) comprises essentially a chain (35) provided with levers (37) arranged to pivot about an axis (38) due to the existence of a guide (40) which cooperates with follower members (39) integral with the levers (37).
