ABSTRACT:
An improved chute is disclosed for feeding articles such as closure caps from a supply device with a positive cap operated stop or feed control action. A cap stop is positioned on the feed end of the chute which includes a latching means for positively holding the next to the last cap in a fixed position in the chute while the end cap is held in position by a spring mounted detent. A latch releasing trigger is mounted at the chute end in position to be activated as the end cap is removed from the chute by a moving container. This momentarily opens the cap latch permitting the second cap in line to move to the pick-up position under the trigger which resets the stop latches.
