ABSTRACT:
The apparatus for recycling glass containers comprises an enclosure having at least one customer access opening and a rotatable carousel mounted in the enclosure. The rotatable carousel defines a plurality of glass container receiving recesses for subsequently receiving glass containers through the customer access opening. A fixed platform defining at least two openings underlies the carousel and a scanning means, mounted in the enclosure, is positioned adjacent the carousel for scanning the code markings on the glass container. At least one trap door is provided, the trap door being operatively associated with a first opening in the fixed platform. The scanning means electrically controls the movement of the trap doors so that glass containers, upon rotation of the carousel, will selectively fall through one of the openings in the fixed platform. The apparatus further comprises a glass container engaging device mounted in the enclosure having at least two engaging jaws for independently engaging glass containers passing through the openings. Separate storage bins are provided which underlie each of the engaging jaws for receiving the engaged glass containers therefrom. Two embodiments of a glass container engaging device are also disclosed.
