ABSTRACT:
A container conveying and elevating apparatus conveys relatively shallow containers having a relatively large diameter, such as aluminum can cup bodies, in banks, or en masse, that is, in multiple rows, along a generally horizontal feed-in conveyor to the front or imput side of a vertically extending elevator housing and onto the bottom run of a generally vertically extending elevator conveyor which is arranged in the housing. The elevator conveyor embodies multiple rows of generally horizontally or longitudinally and transversely extending spaced flexible container-conveying and supporting finger members which are adapted to project into the interiors of, or otherwise engage, the containers as they are fed by the feed-in conveyor to the bottom horizontal run of the elevator conveyor. The containers are then conveyed by the bottom run of the elevator conveyor, and the flexible finger members thereon, around the first and lower turn-around of the elevator conveyor, during which they are turned through an arc of approximately ninety degrees (90.degree.) from a vertical position into a horizontal position on the vertically extending rear run of the elevator conveyor. The containers are then conveyed upwardly on the rear run of the elevator conveyor into the upper area of the elevator housing where they are again turned through an arc of approximately ninety degrees (90.degree.) from a horizontal position into an upright or vertical position, when they are delivered, en masse, in upright position, from the rear run of the elevator conveyor to a take-away or delivery conveyor by which they are conveyed to work station for extrusion of the can cup bodies or for other operations on the containers or container bodies.
