Abstract
In a can changer device, empty cans are fed to a reserve position A and full cans are transported from a collection position C into a delivery position G by means of an apparatus for moving spinning cans. The can moving apparatus comprises drive means containing rails and a carriage movable thereon and having pivotably mounted arms. The arms are pivotable from a substantially vertical position, and specifically, to one side into a substantially horizontal position for entraining and moving the empty cans and, as to one arm of such arms, into the opposite substantially horizontal position for entraining and moving the full can. The carriage is movable to-and-fro by means of a toothed belt between a deflection or reversing head and a drive head, respectively between the locations or positions H and L. During operation, the can changer device itself moves the filled can from the position B towards the position C and the empty can from the position A into the position B. The can moving apparatus thereafter moves the full can from the position C into the position G, whereafter the one arm is pivoted back into the vertical position and the carriage is moved into the location of position …
