ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for simultaneously changing the orientation of articles and transporting the articles from a first location to a second location comprises a wheel, the first and second locations being adjacent the periphery of the wheel and being angularly displaced from each other relative to the periphery of the wheel, a plurality of recesses formed in the periphery of the wheel for receiving the articles, each of the recesses being of such size and shape relative to the articles as to retain each of the articles in a substantially fixed orientation relative to the recess in which the article is received, a kicker for feeding a respective one of the articles from the first location into a respective one of the recesses, a rachet for consecutively rotationally indexing the wheel thereby to bring consecutive recesses into substantial registry with the first location for receiving each of the articles fed from the first location by the kicker and a pair of rails for receiving the articles from the recesses at the second location, said rails forming means for retaining each of the articles in an orientation different from the orientation of the respective article at the first location.
