ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for moving lightweight articles, for instance thermoplastics cups, in which the articles are moved from one location by ejector pins which push the articles onto a conveyor for transfer to another location. The articles are held in a desired orientation as they are moved by the pins. Ideally, a passage extends through each pin to hold the articles thereto by vacuum which alternates with air pressure in the passage to force articles from the pin onto the conveyor when the pin is closest to the conveyor. The pins move along guide passages which assist in maintaining articles properly orientated and stabilizing plates are preferred adjacent the conveyor to stabilize articles during transfer onto the conveyor. The apparatus is useful in removing thermoformed cups from sheet and for this purpose a cutting device may cooperate with each ejector pin for cutting and then transferring cups.
