ABSTRACT:
A bottle divider grid assembly including a plurality of lower dividers for channeling downwardly moving bottles into specified arrays with plastic and/or metal guiding fingers secured onto guide support assemblies, secured into slots defined in the upper and/or lower portions of the lower dividers. The guide support assemblies are removable for maintenance in a manner specifically facilitated by easily removable locking devices. These locking devices are made easily removable by usage of a spring plunger device or a simple single screw which allows complete removal of the guide support assemblies. Also, there can be divider panels positioned immediately above the lower dividers to guide the bottles neatly on the bottle supply conveyor into paths which are then guided downwardly by the guide support assemblies into the pre-chosen arrays. The upper dividers or plates are secured in spaced relationship with respect to one another by a lateral retaining device, which has secured thereto an alignment device such as a pin device which makes them extend downwardly therefrom into predefined apertures within the carriage which holds the lower divider plates in spaced relationship with respect to one another. The lower edges of these upper plates when placed downwardly into the channel defined by the guide support assemblies will lock the guide support assemblies in place. Alternatively, this locking engagement can be utilized without the lower edges of the upper plate by providing securement apertures in the lower dividers through which the above defined spring plunger or single screw can extend. The male end of the screw will protrude into the securement aperture to allow removal or replacement of the support assembly by merely removal of a single screw. Alternatively, the usage of the spring plunger design will allow instant removal of the guide support assembly by moving upward when the slots are defined in the upper edge of the divider and downwardly when the slots are defined in the lower edges of the dividers.
