Abstract: A laboratory capper, decapper or combination capper/decapper includes a deck containing with a nest designed to hold an SBS-formatted tube storage rack, and a bit exchange magazine assembly containing one or more sets of adapter bits. The adapter bits are mounted on and unloaded from motor driven fittings, and are exchanged in order to cap or decap laboratory sample tubes or vials that have different head configurations. The bit exchange magazine assembly enables the bit to be exchanged robotically.

Abstract: A fastening device for fastening a changeable attachment with a container handling station includes a first member and a second member formed as a fitting counterpart to said first member. The attachment can be transferred into the fastened position by uniting and rotating said members relative to each other. A fixed stop disposed on the fastening device in the fastened position prevents rotating the two members relative to each other in one rotational direction, and an elastic, radially snapable section acts as a stop without application of any external force and prevents the members from rotating relative to each other in the other rotational direction. The snapable section fastens the two members relative to each other and can be pressed in radially such that it no longer acts as a stop and the attachment can be rotated from the fastened position and removed from the container handling station.

Abstract: A capping device fits caps onto containers by applying an axial force to the caps as they are threaded onto the containers. The capping device utilizes a spindle rotatable about an operational axis for imparting rotation to a capper unit. A connector coupled to the capper unit is releasably coupled to the spindle by a quick release mechanism. The quick release mechanism is normally biased in the locked position and is configured to automatically move from the unlocked position back to the locked position when the connector mates with the spindle as a user re-connects the capping unit back to the spindle. Methods of releasing and re-connecting the capping unit to the spindle are also disclosed.

Abstract: A device for rapid engagement/release of units for fitting lids to containers, has a fixed part and a movable part which can be reversibly coupled to the fixed part. The fixed part houses corresponding first radial elements integral with the movable part and such as to allow the movement in an axial and/or radial direction of the movable part. A first locking device is associated with the fixed part and able to co-operate with corresponding second radial elements of the movable part so as to prevent displacement in an axial direction thereof. A second locking device is coaxially movable on the fixed part and able to co-operate with said first radial elements so as to prevent the rotation of the movable part.

Abstract: A work head changer is disclosed which automatically changes a capping head used in a rotary multicapper or a filling nozzle in a rotary filler. A controller controls the rotation of a rotatable body of the rotary multicapper, for example, thus bringing the individual capping heads to a stop successively and intermittently at a predetermined work head replacement position. In case of the rotary multicapper, each capping head is detachably mounted on the rotatable body through a connection. A work head delivery mechanism removes a capping head which is brought to a stop at the work head replacement position from the connection, and attaches a capping head of another variety which has been stored in a stocker to the connection at an empty location from which the capping head has been removed.
