ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for assisting the manual loading and unloading of bottles into and out of cases comprising a guide plate, a bottle holder, a bottle holder actuating mechanism, and a handle. The bottle holder comprises a pair of flaps pivotally connected to the guide plate, the flaps being adjacent and parallel to one another, and the flaps being movable between a closed and an open position. The flaps have a bottle retaining structure for retaining the bottles in the bottle holder. Each flap of the pair of flaps of the bottle holder has a pivot axis about which the flaps may pivot. The pivot axis is located below a plane defined by the tops of the bottles when the bottles are retained by the bottle retaining structure. The flaps are selectively moved between the open and the closed position by the bottle holder actuating mechanism, capturing the bottles within the bottle retaining structure. The case filling and unloading apparatus, with the bottles captured therein, may be lifted by a handle connected to the guide plate and moved from place to place.
