Turntable apparatus for wrapping machine

1. Apparatus for a wrapping machine for wrapping a product with a film made of plastics, comprising a table which rotates around a wrapping axis and which supports said product to be wrapped, a frame provided with a plurality of supporting wheels, which are mounted free to rotate around respective rotating axes and which support said table, said supporting wheels being connected to said frame by respective supporting pins, so that said rotating axes coincide with longitudinal axes of said supporting pins, wherein

said supporting wheels are connected to said frame via said supporting pins so that said longitudinal axes of said supporting pins and coinciding respective rotating axes of said supporting wheels are tiltable with respect to a supporting plane of said apparatus;

each supporting pin rotatingly supports a pair of supporting wheels, said supporting wheels being connected to respective ends of said supporting pin; and

said frame comprises a plurality of seats suitable for receiving said supporting pins, each seat comprising an open slot configured so as to house an annular groove of a respective supporting pin, said annular groove being equidistant from said ends of said supporting pin, each seat having a length that is less than a width of said annular groove to enable the respective supporting pin to be tilted with respect to said supporting plane.

2. Apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each seat has peripheral edges with a rounded shape.

3. Apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said seats are angularly spaced from one another with respect to said wrapping axis.

4. Apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said seats are made on a resting arrangement of said frame.

5. Apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein said resting arrangement has a substantially annular shape.

6. Apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein said resting arrangement comprises a plurality of curved and/or rectilinear flat elongated elements that are connected to one another.

7. Apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein said resting arrangement comprises an annular shaped flat elongated element.

8. Apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein said annular shaped flat elongated element is a calendared flat element.

9. Apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein said frame further comprises a longitudinal member, fixed to said resting arrangement and supporting an actuating device arranged for rotating said table.

10. Apparatus according to claim 9 , comprising a transmitting element interposed between said actuating device and a joining element rotatingly supported by said frame and connected to said table.

11. Apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each supporting wheel comprises a peripheral surface for contacting the table, said peripheral surface having a partially spherical shape.

12. Wrapping machine for wrapping a product with a film made of plastics, comprising a rotating table apparatus according to claim 1 .

13. Apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said open slot is a U-shaped slot.

14. Apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said respective rotating axes are tiltable through an angle between 1° and 10°.

15. Apparatus for a wrapping machine for wrapping a product with a film made of plastics, comprising a table which rotates around a wrapping axis and which supports said product to be wrapped, a frame provided with a plurality of supporting wheels, which are mounted free to rotate around respective rotating axes and which support said table, said supporting wheels being connected to said frame by respective supporting pins, so that said rotating axes coincide with longitudinal axes of said supporting pins, wherein

said supporting wheels are connected to said frame via said supporting pins so that said longitudinal axes of said supporting pins and coinciding respective rotating axes of said supporting wheels are tiltable with respect to a supporting plane of said apparatus;

each supporting pin rotatingly supports a pair of supporting wheels, said supporting wheels being connected to respective ends of said supporting pin; and

said frame comprises a plurality of seats suitable for receiving said supporting pins, each seat comprising an open slot configured so as to house an annular groove of a respective supporting pin, said annular groove being equidistant from said ends of said supporting pin, each seat having a length that is less than a width of said annular groove to enable the respective supporting pin to be tilted with respect to said supporting plane, and each seat having a width that is greater than a diameter of said annular groove to enable the respective supporting pin to be tilted with respect to an inclination plane which is parallel to said wrapping axis and is orthogonal to said supporting plane.
