ABSTRACT:
A pair of spaced and aligned driven bottle aligning belts is disposed to each side of a bottle feed path for coaction with bottles having necks, to facilitate movement of said bottles while on their sides and being fed along the feed path. The pairs of belts on each side of said feed path approach each other, in the direction of bottle feed, so as to narrow the feed path; and by doing so to align the bottles for subsequent processing. Pairs of spaced rails are disposed downstream in said feed path and to each side thereof to receive the aligned bottles as they exit the bottle aligning belts to maintain the bottles in aligned relationship until the bottles are fed into a twister which up-ends the bottles and directs them further along the feed path to work stations where they are cleaned, filled, capped, and otherwise processed. Suitable drive belts are provided for feeding the bottles along said feed path, with appropriate drives and controls to facilitate operation thereof. Back ups or guards are provided for the belts.
