ABSTRACT:
The subject matter contained herein is directed to an apparatus for filling like containers with a like given amount of divided matter. The apparatus includes a housing and a drive mounted in the housing. A filling turret is positioned in the housing. The filling turret has a rotatable portion connected to the drive. The filling turret includes a filling tank having a rotatable base connected to and rotated by said drive. 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. Each of the flasks includes a head having its upper end flush with the rotatable base. Each head has a tapered filling aperture contained therein. The larger portion of the aperture is adjacent to the filling tank. Each flask includes a thin wall tube connected to the head extending downward therefrom. The interior of the thin wall tube is aligned with the lower smaller portion of the filling aperture. A container pocket is positioned adjacent to each of the measuring flasks. Said container pockets rotate with the rotatable portion of the filling tank. An input conveyor delivers open-ended empty containers to the container pockets. A container elevator lifts each of the empty containers into telescoping relationship with its respective measuring flask. The containers are held on an arcuate support while they are filled with divided matter. The containers are then delivered to an output conveyor..
