ABSTRACT:
The subject matter contained herein is an apparatus for filling like containers with a given amount of divided matter. The apparatus includes a housing, with a drive mounted in the housing. A filling turret is positioned in the housing; and the filling turret has a rotatable portion connected to the drive, to be rotated thereby. The filling turret includes a filling tank, having a rotatable base connected to and rotated by said drive at a selected rate. A plurality of measuring flasks is arranged in a circle, having its center concentric with the axis of rotation of the rotatable portion of the filling turret. The measuring flasks are connected to the rotatable base of the filling tank for receiving divided matter from the filling tank and measuring the amount of said divided matter. A container pocket is positioned adjacent to each of the measuring flasks and moves with the rotatable base of the filling tank. A straight-line input conveyor delivers a plurality of open-ended empty containers to the container pockets. The co-action of the rotation of the container pockets with the input conveyor positions an open-ended empty container in each of the pockets as each of the pockets passes the input conveyor. A container elevator lifts each of the empty containers into telescoping relationship with its respective measuring flask; and carries each container, in cooperation with the rotating container pocket, to an arcuate container support. The containers are held on the arcuate support while they are filled with the divided matter; and are then delivered to an output conveyor. The output conveyor has a straight-line path tangential to the circular path of the container pockets to carry away the containers filled with divided matter.
