Abstract
A vessel handling machine comprises a machine frame on which is arranged a drivable conveyor start with the star crown (3) consisting of several superimposed external star rings and a concentric internal flange plate (10) located at the level of the lowest star ring. The star crown can be secured to the internal flange plate (10) by an inwardly facing edge (14) and a flange plate is connected to a drive shaft (12). To permit easier and faster replacement of the star crown, the flange plate is rigidly connected to the drive shaft and rapid locking latches (15) which hold the inner edge of the star crown are mounted on the outer edge of the flange plate.
