ABSTRACT:
Improvements in bottle handling apparatus whereby bottles may be firmly grasped by the neck thereof for conveying but may be easily and quickly released as desired. A pair of spaced elongated members, somewhat flexible by design, extend outward adjacently and are manipulated to clamp and retain the bottles. The elongated members are pivotally supported intermediate the ends thereof and a toggle joint mechanism is disposed to spread the rear portion of the elongated members so as to cause the forward portion thereof to grasp a bottle. A spring across the toggle mechanism drives the clamp into either the completely open or completely closed position in response to an impulse. Mechanism is provided for causing the clamp to release at one of a plurality of possible locations depending on the desired position of the bottle being conveyed.
