Abstract
The invention concerns a machine for removing covers or caps on container closures such as the bung hole closure of bear casks, which are positioned with the closure in downward direction and, in empty condition, pass successively a rinsing station and a filling station to be provided again finally with the said caps. The member for removing the caps is U-shaped and, on the belt, is pivotally connected to a parallel mechanism so that said member, after passing the downwardly extending container edge, can engage the cap side facing the container bottom, thus lifting it from the closure.
