The apparatus (100) comprises: a pair of wings (3), mounted and predisposed rotatably on a corresponding end of a paddle (15) of the series of paddles (11): the wings (3) are activated in rotation with respect to the paddle (15), so that the wings (3) can first abut the backward portion (50) of the ends (51) of the tubular winding of film (T) and, continuing in rotation thereof (W) with respect to the paddle (15), can fold and extend the backward portion (50) against the heads of the container (A) during the translation of the paddle (15) above the sliding plane (P).

Abrégé

The apparatus (D) for transferring pharmaceutical articles from a counting machine (MC) to internally of containers (C) advancing continuously along a conveyor line (L) comprises a first series of tubular elements (T1) and at least a second series of tubular elements (T2) such a to be able to freely receive the pharmaceutical articles internally thereof. The apparatus (D) comprises a first looped movement organ (1) for moving the first series of tubular elements (T1) and at least a second looped movement organ (2) for moving the second series of tubular elements (T2), activatable independently of one another, in both a stepped fashion and continuously, and having a shape such as each to define a looped movement pathway (PC) for the tubular elements (T1, T2) comprising a first straight movement portion (R1) below the counting machine (MC) so that the tubular elements (T1, T2) can be halted for receiving therefrom the counted articles, and a second straight portion (R2) above the conveyor line (L) of the containers (C), so that the tubular elements (T1, T2) can be moved at the same velocity above the containers (C) and release the articles therein.
