Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a switch device for a transfer point between a first and a second rotatable star wheel, at which transfer point objects can be selectively transferred from the first star wheel to the second star wheel, comprising a two-walled first switch element, the first and second walls of which extend around the transfer point such that a passage for the objects is formed therebetween; a second and a third switch element, which are arranged and held such that they each form extensions of the first and second wall, respectively, of the first switch element in the first position and the second position of the first switch element; and a transition device, which is designed to carry out the transition of the first to third switch elements.
