Abstract
An apparatus for transferring a plurality of objects from a pickup station to blisters of an adjacent passing foil has a stationary support adjacent the foil and pickup station and defining a support axis and an arm pivotal on the support about the support axis and extending radially from the support axis. A slide shiftable on the arm radially of the support axis defines a slide axis about which a suction grab can pivot. The suction grab is adapted to pick up and drop a plurality of the objects. First and second drives have motors on the support and serve for pivoting the arm about the support axis between a pickup position with the grab over the pickup station and a deposit position with the grab over the passing foil and for shifting the slide along the arm.
