A shuttle change system (12) for use in a wrapping apparatus (10) for wrapping an associated item is disclosed. The wrapping apparatus includes a shuttle (26) that moves along the inner periphery of a track (14) dispensing a wrapping material. The shuttle change system (12) includes a carrier (40) and a pair of track sections (38a, b) mounted to the carrier. The track sections are spaced from one another and parallel to one another, each adapted to support a shuttle (26). The carrier (40) is moveable vertically, longitudinally and laterally to align either of the pair of tracks with the cantilevered base portion (18) of the track. One of the tracks is adapted to receive a shuttle (26) to be replaced and the other of the tracks is adapted to store a replacement shuttle (26') for movement onto the track. The carrier (40) is movable away from the track (14) to permit the openable track portion (20) to open and close without interference.

L'invention concerne un système de changement de navette (12) à utiliser dans un appareil à envelopper (10) pour envelopper un article associé. L'appareil à envelopper comprend une navette (26) qui se déplace le long de la périphérie intérieure d'une piste (14) distribuant un matériau d'emballage. Le système de changement de navette (12) comprend un support (40) et deux tronçons de piste (38a,b) montés sur le support. Les tronçons de piste sont espacés l'un de l'autre et parallèles l'un à l'autre, chacun étant conçu pour porter une navette (26). Le support (40) est mobile verticalement, longitudinalement et latéralement pour aligner l'une ou l'autre des deux pistes avec la partie de base en porte-à-faux (18) de la piste. Une des pistes est conçue pour recevoir une navette (26) à remplacer et l'autre des pistes est conçue pour stocker une navette de remplacement (26') destinée à se déplacer sur la piste. Le support (40) peut être déplacé loin de la piste (14) pour permettre à la partie de piste pouvant être ouverte (20) de s'ouvrir et se fermer sans interférence.
