ABSTRACT:
A conveying apparatus employing a cleated endless conveyor belt to receive and convey plastic containers on to an orientation apparatus provided with like cleated endless conveyor belt, moving in synchronism with the conveying apparatus. A pair of rotatable brushes positioned along and above the conveying apparatus causes containers to individually and separately lodge within the spaces between the cleats as they advance in a forward direction along the endless conveyor belt. A cross belt disposed along the downward travel of the conveyor belt engages the containers and moves them in a lateral direction within the spaces between the cleats until container engagement with an abutment at the edge of the conveyor belt. After traveling through a prescribed course on the conveyor apparatus belt, the respective containers are individually discharged through a passage in the conveyor apparatus on to respective spaces on the advancing orientation apparatus belt cleats.
An alternate embodiment employs a diagonally positioned rotatable brush instead of the pair of brushes; this brush serves to laterally position the containers in the spaces between the cleats.
