ABSTRACT:
An accumulator for collecting the outputs of a plurality of sorters in a single layer of oriented closures in a hopper and feeding the closures in single file to a downstream operation station. Bridging patterns of closures in the layer which interrupt flow to the next station are displaced by regulating the internal configuration of the hopper, agitating the layer of closures, conveying closures from the bottom of the layer to the discharge chute, and by impinging the closures with air jets to break up the patterns and urge the closures to the discharge chute.
