Abstract
The device forms part of a bottle labeling machine, and is designed to restrain bottles (23), champagne bottles especially, by descending onto the corks, at the same time positioning an optical recognition device capable of reading a reference mark molded into or otherwise applied to the bottle to assist in bringing about its proper alignment in readiness for the subsequent labeling operation; each bottle is restrained, and the reader then positioned to detect its alignment mark, by a pair of pneumatic cam-operated mechanisms of which the ascending and descending movement coincides with the vertical axis of a single fixed head (1) by which both are slidably accommodated.
