ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for inverting an article being transported by a conveyor includes means extending into the travel path of the article to restrict the forward motion of the leading portion of the article relative to the forward motion of the trailing portion of the article, thus causing the leading portion to rise relative to the trailing portion until the article is partially inverted to an overcenter position, and means to permit the overcenter leading portion to descend, preferably maintaining engagement with the article as the leading portion descends, thereby to controllably deposit the article on the conveyor in a fully inverted position.
