ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for applying lids to respective cup-like containers. The apparatus includes a continuously operable destacker mechanism which is positioned generally beneath an assembly for holding stacks of the container lids. The destacker effects movement of the lowermost one of the lids from each of the stacks, with the lids thereafter moved to a feed magazine which includes a plurality of inclined guide chutes. The lids advance down the guide chutes, and are releasably retained in the path of filled containers moving on a conveyor generally therebeneath. Each container engages its respective lid, and withdraws it from the feed magazine, with the containers and lids subsequently passed beneath a series of application rollers so that the lids are urged downwardly into engagement with the containers.
