ABSTRACT:
A ball placer device is provided for containers in a capping machine, which consists of a vertical tube assembly mounted to the capping machine to receive a series of balls therein. A feed assembly for the balls is retained above the vertical tube assembly on the capping machine, so that the balls can enter into the vertical tube assembly in a stacked relationship. A conveyor is to carry a series of the containers in upstanding positions under the vertical tube assembly. Each container is of the type having a neck with a collar thereon. A mechanism is for placing each ball from the vertical tube assembly upon each collar on the neck of each container, one at a time, as the containers are carried under the vertical tube assembly by the conveyor. Another mechanism forward of the ball placing mechanism is for pressing each ball into each collar on the neck of each container as the containers are carried along by the conveyor, so that each ball will be rotatively captured by each collar on the neck of each container, for faster flow of the containers on the conveyor.
