A handle applicator includes controller that receives signals concerning marks on an endless band. The controller controls a contact body to be between a release position, in which a handle applicator is freely driven and a drawing position, in which the contact body contacts the endless band of material prior to its being cut to form the handle. The contact body moves along a continuum of positions between the release position and the drawing position based on actual position data indicative of actual positions of position markings on the handle.

Method and device for attaching carrying handles to packaging means or groups of packaging means

An article-grouping device which has at least three independently-driven drive arrangements and a plurality of divider elements located on crossbeams. Each of the drive arrangements moves the crossbeams, and thus moves the divider elements thereon to a position between adjacent articles in a stream of articles on a conveyor arrangement to divide the stream of articles into separated groups of articles. Each of the drive arrangements comprises a drive shaft and a pair of elongated driven elements, such as endless chains or toothed belts. At least two of the drive shafts both drive a pair of driven elements and support pairs of driven elements driven by other drive shafts.

Method of arranging containers, such as bottles or cans, for forming groups of containers to be packaged as a group in a container filling plant, and apparatus therefor

The invention relates to a device () for forming product groups from a flow of a plurality of identical piece goods fed by means of conveying devices, having an infeed track () and dividing elements engaging in the product flow in a synchronized manner transverse to the transport plane on at least one pair of driven, endlessly circulating flexible drive elements (), wherein at least one crossbar () is disposed on each of said pairs of flexible drive elements, dividing elements () being held thereon, wherein at least three pairs of flexible drive elements () are provided within a device, wherein each of said pairs can be operated with a unique velocity profile.
