Principal Applicant Address Italy Collecchio Inventor Mario Lanfrancchi Application (Patent) No. 02802790.6 Date of Application 2002.08 .21 Certification Date Approval Notice No. 1498187 Auditing Notice Date 2004.05.19 Instruction CD-ROM D0420 Main Classification Number B65G47/14 Classification No. B65G47/14 Sub-item Original Application No. Priority Abstracts This invention is directed to aligning and aligning plastic containers or bottles. In the field of machines used, these containers or bottles are randomly inserted into a loading tank, and in particular, the invention relates to a type of machine for orientation and alignment, which is provided with a set of lifting devices (6), It can slide vertically along a rotating cylindrical tank (1) containing a randomly placed bottle. More specifically, it relates to a device for automatically adjusting the size of a group of risers placed in a rotating cylindrical tank in accordance with the size or specification of the bottle. This device is provided with a set of constricting elements (9), at least for each one of the risers (6), each of which is inserted in the riser without extension and can be removed from the riser. Control means are provided for moving the constricting elements either simultaneously or sequentially. Sovereignty item 1. A machine for orienting and aligning plastic containers, comprising: a cylindrical tank (1) that rotates about a vertical axis, wherein the plastic containers are inserted in an unordered manner and a fixed interior is provided Or rotating conical bottom (3) so that the plastic container can be rolled close to the inner wall of the rotating cylindrical tank; the orientation and alignment device for the plastic container is located outside the rotating cylindrical tank interposed between A space between the cylindrical tank and a fixed outer cylindrical wall coaxial therewith; a group of lifters (6) arranged on the conical bottom and inner side of the rotating cylindrical tank Between and as a whole rotates with the tank and moves vertically, from a loading position slightly below the conical bottom to an unloading position slightly above the edge of the cylindrical tank in order to slide the plastic container into orientation and to Quasi-device, characterized in that it is provided with a device to automatically adjust the size of a group of lifters according to the specifications of the bottle, which includes: for each lifter at least one shrinking element, contained inside the lifter, and After it is moved vertically out of the lifter itself after being driven by the lifting device, the lifting device operates simultaneously or sequentially in order to shrink the lifter's receiving capacity according to the specifications of the plastic container.
