Abstract
Apparatus for correctly positioning dispensers to be applied to containers, wherein containers and dispensers are fed in succession to an aligning conveyor which comprises a plurality of housings adapted to receive respective dispensers and to support them rotatably about their respective axes. A fixed abutment element is arranged adjacent to the aligning conveyor and is adapted to interfere with a portion of the peripheral surface of the dispensers to cause a rotation of the dispensers about their respective axes during their movement on the aligning conveyor. A photocell is provided for sensing the position assumed by a given portion of each rotating dispenser, and suckers are also provided and controlled by the photocell in order to lock each dispenser within the related housing when a given position is reached.
