ABSTRACT:
An automatic machine for positioning and feeding containers or bottles having an irregular or oval shape and flat sides and a neck portion to continuously feed a work station, including a hopper, a bottom wall member in the hopper extending in a plane at an angle to the horizontal, a rotatable disc above and parallel to the bottom wall member, detachable container holding elements removably mounted at the periphery of the disc assembly and defining peripheral recesses for receiving individual containers or bottles from the hopper and moving the containers to a higher level for discharging them through a discharge opening in the bottom wall member, a chute for receiving the discharged containers or bottles and guiding and positioning them so that they are deposited on a belt conveyor assembly on their edge or narrower side, devices on the conveyor assembly for tilting the containers or bottles, a detector device on the conveyor assembly for detecting the position of the containers or bottles and emitting a signal to operate a separate pusher device if the containers or bottles are not in the proper position so that the containers or bottles are ultimately positioned lying on their larger or flat sides for transport by the conveyor to a work station.
