ABSTRACT:
A conveyor apparatus for handling containers such as glass bottles, at high rates of production, including a single straight line pocket chain conveyor carrying containers in a single line into a line dividing mechanism at a transfer zone over a second, wide conveyor. The second conveyor crosses the path of the pocket chain conveyor at an obtuse angle on the order of 115.degree.. The divider mechanism comprises two rotary cams operated synchronously, their lobes being in mesh with each other and each having alternating shallow and deep lobes thereon for contacting the containers in removing them from the pocket chain into two lines on the second conveyor. The divider mechanism prevents container-to-container contact in the mechanism, and this is especially important for glass containers. The pocket chain and cams are driven synchronously to cooperate in the transfer zone for forming the two lines of containers from the single line that is delivered. Each container is under positive control of the mechanism.
