Abstract
A rotary article-transfer apparatus, specifically intended for use in a sweet-wrapping apparatus, comprises a rotatable main support, a pocket support slidably mounted on the main support provided with an article receiving pocket, a cam follower mounted on the pocket support and arranged in engagement with a cam track arranged about the axis of rotation of the main support so that, upon rotation of the main support, an article fed to the pocket at one circumferential position, e.g., a feeding position, at a given radial distance from the axis of rotation is moved to another circumferential position, e.g., a twisting position, at a different radial distance from that axis.
