ABSTRACT:
A device for properly positioning upstanding vials that are exiting from or entering on to a conveyor. A guide wheel, having a plurality of identations for the vials, is driven by a coaxial propulsion wheel located beneath the guide wheel. A stationary guide adjacent to the guide wheel is spaced sufficiently to permit the vials to pass one at a time between the stationary guide and the guide wheel. The wheels are mounted via an arm at an angle to the conveyor so that one edge of the propulsion wheel rests on and is driven by the conveyor. Therefore, the rotational speed of the guide wheel matches the surface speed of the conveyor so that the vials are properly released onto the conveyor or captured from the conveyor without being upset.
