ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for orienting moving bottles in successive fashion from a first random open-end leading disposition to an open-end trailing position and maintaining the orientation of bottles in an open-end trailing disposition includes two pairs of spaced endless movable belts, one of the belt pairs being stepped above the other belt pair in overlapping relationship. In one embodiment of the invention, a pivot member that attachably engages a leading open-end of the bottle and avoids attachable engagement with a leading closed end of the bottle helps distinguish the random dispositions of the bottles. After the bottles have been oriented they are dispensed in successive fashion to an output means for further processing. In another embodiment of the invention the pivot member is replaced by a pair of cam members spaced in the direction of movement of the bottles. A further embodiment of the invention requires only one pair of spaced endless movable belts.
