The present invention provides an adjustable star wheel provided with at least one interchangeable pocket for receiv-ing a container to be conveyed. The star wheel comprises a larger pocket of fixed shape and size, moveable jaws defining a smaller pocket having a fixed shape and size, an actuator disc rotatable about the central axis, and a cam mechanism linking the jaws to the actuator disc to cause radial movement of the jaws. In an extended position, the jaws move the smaller pocket into coincidence with the larger pocket thereby configuring the star wheel to receive containers in the smaller pocket. In the retracted position, the jaws are clear of the larger pocket thereby configuring the star wheel to receive containers in the larger pocket.

La présente invention porte sur une étoile réglable équipée d'au moins une poche interchangeable destinée à recevoir un contenant à transporter. L'étoile comporte une grande poche de forme et de taille fixes ; des mâchoires mobiles définissant une petite poche de forme et de taille fixes ; un disque d'actionneur mobile en rotation autour de l'axe central ; et un mécanisme de came articulant les mâchoires par rapport au disque d'actionneur pour provoquer un déplacement radial des mâchoires. En position déployée, les mâchoires déplacent la petite poche pour coïncider avec la grande poche, configurant ainsi l'étoile pour recevoir des contenants dans la petite poche. En position rétractée, les mâchoires sont dégagées de la grande poche, configurant ainsi l'étoile pour recevoir des contenants dans la grande poche.
