Abstract
An apparatus for filling containers, especially bottles, with liquid material is provided. The apparatus has at least one filling element for dispensing the liquid material into a respective container in a controlled manner. A bell-shaped portion is provided for each filling element and has a chamber for completely accommodating a container during a filling process. The underside of the bell-shaped portion has an opening for the introduction and withdrawal of a container. The apparatus also has a support mechanism that forms a support surface for the container and is disposed below the filling element in the direction of a filling element axis. Via relative movement between the bell-shaped portion and the support mechanism in the filling element axis, the chamber at the opening of the bell-shaped portion can be closed and opened by the support mechanism. Provided on the bell-shaped portion as well as on the support mechanism are interlocking mechanisms so that when the chamber of the bell-shaped portion is closed by the support mechanism, the bell-shaped portion and the support mechanism are positively interlocked with one another at least relative to forces acting in the direction of the filling element axis.
