ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for orientating randomly organized articles formed of spaced planar members coupled along an edge of the planar members to define an opened end and a closed end along the edge where the planar members are coupled. The apparatus includes a conveyor for moving articles along a conveyor path between first and second positions, and at least one elongated member extending across the conveyor between first and second positions. The elongated member is aligned at an elevated height above a surface of the conveyor to define a gap between the member and the conveyor surface. The extent of the gap is sized greater than the thickness of the planar members and less than the height of the article formed by the planar members for orientating randomly organized articles.
