Abstract
Apparatus for decorating cylindrical containers is provided with a curing section mounted directly thereto. The containers are held by mandrels while decorations are applied and are then removed by suction transfer spindles which carry the containers through the curing section. Each transfer spindle is connected to the output of an individual clutch that is actuated only while the spindle is at the curing section. The clutch input is rotated continuously so that when the clutch is energized the transfer spindle rotates and the container carried thereby rotates when at the curing section.
