ABSTRACT:
A plastic carrier is deposited on a set of bottles which are moved beneath a reciprocating platen. The platen carries a set of long fingers and a set of short fingers. Each long finger is positioned to align with a different one of the lower peripheral surface sections of the carrier. Each short finger is aligned with the upper surface of the carrier, which has a bottle engaging opening for each bottle. Between the upper and lower surfaces of the carrier is an inclined side surface. As the platen is moved downwardly, the long fingers first engage and cooperate with the inclined side surface to correct any misalignment between the carrier and the bottles. Further movement causes the long fingers to contact the peripheral surface sections, respectively, and the short fingers to contact the upper surface, seating the carrier.
