Abstract
A device for reducing the pitch between two consecutive elements in a succession of elements, whereby the pitch is changed by feeding the elements by way of a conveyor about a first axis, and changing the distance between the elements and the first axis between a loading station at which the elements are loaded on to the conveyor, and an unloading station at which the elements are unloaded off the conveyor; the distance change being achieved by rotating each element about a respective eccentric second axis traveling with the conveyor.
