ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, as set forth, in which glass containers moving on a horizontal conveyor in an upright attitude are guided into a bottle-engaging pocket, while the pocket is in position at an entrance position. The pocket is one of a series which are connected together in an endless series. An indexing hub supports a plurality of circumferentially spaced rollers about its periphery, with the rollers acting similar to a sprocket. The hub is indexed by a suitable drive. The rollers, in cooperation with the endless series of bottle-engaging pockets, will move containers held in the pockets through a series of positions at which the containers may be gauged or inspected for various defects. A second hub, which is essentially the same as the previously described hub, also has a series of rollers which engage the series of pockets. This second hub is mounted for "idler type" rotation about its vertical axis. Each of the series of bottle-engaging pockets have interchangeable inserts to accommodate different sized bottles, and the hubs actually support two vertically spaced series of bottle-engaging pockets.
