ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for inserting a resilient band on a container, which comprises a support member adapted to receive on its top wall the container, a first set of segments arranged circumferentially about the support member, a second set of segments arranged circumferentially about the first set of segments below the top wall of the first set of segments to define therewith a band-receiving area, and a pair of springs opposing, in one case, the downward movement of the support member and, in the other case, the downward movement of the first set of segments; the second spring has a higher spring modulus than that of the first spring so that downward movement of the container on the support member causes, first, a radial outward movement of the first set of segments to stretch the band until the container contacts the first set of segments whereupon the first set of segments moves downward within the second set of segments and the band moves in engagement onto the container.
