ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for inverting articles that includes a receiving chute which is mounted for movement between a generally horizontal receiving position and an inclined discharge position. A curved inverting chute has an inlet end disposed to receive articles from the receiving chute when the receiving chute is in the discharge position and has an outlet end from which the inverted articles are discharged to a discharge site. A releasable stop member is associated with the receiving chute and prevents the articles from sliding from the receiving chute as the chute is tilted to the downward inclined discharge position. The stop member is automatically released as the receiving chute approaches its discharge position, so that the articles can then slide from the receiving chute to the inlet end of the inverting chute. A reject chute is mounted for movement between a storage position and an operative position where the reject chute is aligned with the receiving chute when the receiving chute is in the inclined discharge position. By moving the reject chute to the operative position, articles being discharged from the receiving chute will be by-passed to the reject chute for reject from the system.
