Abstract
A device for printing on hollow bodies includes a segmented wheel. A system is used for sequentially supplying the hollow bodes to the periphery of the segmented wheel. That system includes at least one conveyor wheel and one mandrel wheel. The conveyor wheel, the mandrel wheel, and the segmented wheel are arranged in a transport direction of the hollow bodies. A plurality of driving elements are arranged on the periphery of the conveyor wheel, and a plurality of holding elements are arranged on the periphery of the mandrel wheel. Each holding element receives a respective hollow body to be printed in cooperation with the segmented wheel. The mandrel wheel and the conveying wheel each have their own drive, each of which drive is separate from a drive of the segmented wheel.
