ABSTRACT:
Bottle orienting apparatus for orienting successively advancing bottles of shoulder-and-neck construction with at-random neck-leading and neck-trailing dispositions into a train of bottles of only neck-trailing disposition, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a guide system for advancing the bottles in the at-random neck-leading and neck-trailing dispositions and a discriminating system for inverting each of the bottles of neck-leading disposition to a neck-trailing disposition, the guide system being upstream of and communicating with the discriminating system. Associated with the discriminating system is a system for accelerating the bottles away from the discriminating system toward a bottle processing station at which the bottles are filled or otherwise treated. The system for accelerating the bottles is so arranged as to pinch each of the bottles in succession laterally of the direction they are accelerated, thereby to exercise positive frictional control over the bottles when initiating acceleration of the latter.
