Abstract
A transfer arrangement () for gripping articles (at) comprises a central wheel body with a multiplicity of arms (), which can be pivoted about a first axis () in each case, articulated along its periphery. The arms () have a gripper () for receiving in each case one or more articles (). Each gripper () can be rotated about a second axis () for predetermined positioning of the articles, while the connecting body () can be rotated about the first axis (). The rotary movement of the gripper (), then, can be transferred to the gripper (), rotating about the second axis (), via a shaft () arranged along the first axis (), with the aid of a transfer element (). Finally, a third axis () is arranged on the connecting body (), between the first and second axes (). This allows rotation of the connecting body () to be transferred in a controlled manner to the connecting body (), at the location of the first axis (), via a shaft () arranged along the third axis (), with the aid of a transfer element (). This means that articles () can be tracked.
