ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for handling objects such as container lids utilizes a separator assembly comprising a downwardly extending chute having an essentially L-shaped cross-section, for the rotation of the lids from a vertical disposition, to a horizontal disposition upon their ejection on to a horizontal conveyor or the like. An endless, movable platform is adjacent the chute and is adapted for downward movement in a line of travel that is essentially parallel and inboard of the chute. A plurality of cleats are mounted on the movable platform, and sweep through the channel within the chute, to urge the container lids to enter and make full traverse without jamming of the assembly, or damage to the lids. The present assembly is capable of high speed operation with minimal jamming and container lid damage.
