Abstract
A conveyor for transporting assembled or semi-assembled cartridges for electronic cigarettes includes a rail extending along a path and a carriage movable on the rail and including a unit for housing cartridge that includes: a seat on which a single cartridge is received; first and second levers positioned on opposite sides of the seat, and being reciprocally rotatable between an open position, to allow the arrangement and/or picking-up of a cartridge, and a closed position, to retain the cartridge in its receiving position on the seat; a follower member for bringing the first lever into rotation as a result of a pushing action executed on the follower member. The housing unit includes a gear mechanism for rotationally connecting the first and second levers, so that the rotation of the first lever induced by the follower member causes, via the gear mechanism, a corresponding rotation of the second lever.
