ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for separating, or de-nesting, the lowermost flanged container from a nested stack of flanged containers is characterized by a flange support member reciprocally movable from a first to a second rectilinear position. The flange support member has first and second flange support surfaces thereon, the second flange support surface being rectilinearly behind and in a vertical plane above the first flange support surface. In the first position, the first flange support surface supports the flanges of the lowermost container above an opening provided in a baseplate. As the flange support member rectilinearly displaces to the second position, a lifting surface lifts the flanges of the next-lowermost container onto the second flange support surface cotemporaneously with the withdrawal of the first flange support surface out of its supporting relationship with the flanges of the lowermost container. Thus, the flanges of the next-lowermost container are supported on the second flange support surface above the opening in the baseplate as the lowermost container passes therethrough.
