A device for singulating and passing on upright containers preferably comprises a feed device for transporting the containers in a single row and a singulation unit having a first star wheel and a second star wheel, each of which comprises receiving pockets to accept, when in a first and second receiving position, the containers being transported to them and to transport these containers to a first and second discharge position. The star wheels comprise parallel rotational axes but opposite rotational directions. In addition, the device comprises a pusher unit, which comprises at least one plunger, which, in the area of the first and second discharge position, is movable back and forth in a direction parallel to the rotational axes of the star wheels and through the associated receiving pockets to push the containers out of the receiving pockets of the star wheels and into product holders.

Device for singulating and passing on upright containers

A tool holder () defines three stop surfaces (), which lie in three planes (), which are perpendicular to each other. A pin (), which can be lowered into the base body () of the tool holder () and extended from it, is to be introduced into a receptacle () of the tool () and comprises a slanted active contact surface (), which defines a fourth plane (), which intersects each of the three planes () of the tool holder () at an acute angle, as a result of which the active pressure surface (), upon the extension of the pin (), exerts a force component toward each of the three stop surfaces (). A corresponding tool () and a workstation with the tool holder () and the tool () attached thereto are also described.
