ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for orienting and feeding lightweight plastic bottles or the like having a rotating bowl in which a supply of randomly arranged bottles is placed, a plurality of chutes spaced around the bowl for rotation therewith, with each chute having a bottle receiving opening at the upper edge of the bowl. A plurality of vertically reciprocable bottle pushers are mounted within the bowl and rotate therewith, each pusher being operatively associated with one of the chutes. As the bowl rotates, each pusher moves a bottle up a stationary helical discharge track from the top of which the bottles are deposited in a predetermined oriented position into the respective associated chute, with the bottle eventually being transferred onto a linear conveyor which is arranged along a tangent to the path of rotation of the bottles as they are positioned in the rotating chutes.
