ABSTRACT:
A capsule positioning machine for supplying a plurality of capsules successively in a predetermined posture, which is useable with the capsules each composed of a container and a cap mounted thereon. The machine comprises a transport drum and an inverting drum both supported for rotation in the opposite directions at the same peripheral velocity and formed with a plurality of pockets. Each of the pockets in the transport drum is stepped to provide a large diameter portion of a diameter slightly greater than the outer diameter of the cap of each of the capsules and a reduced diameter portion of a diameter substantially equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the cap, but slightly greater than the outer diameter of the container. Any of the capsules received in the respective pockets in the transport drum with the container engaged in the reduced diameter portion can be transferred to the inverting drum thereby to invert the posture of the capsule.
