ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for restraining containers against rotation when being moved through operation stations of a cap application process. In the embodiment shown a resilient belt is supported on a star wheel so that a section of the belt subtends an arc of each container receiving pocket in the star wheel. In response to the reception of a container in a pocket the belt section conforms to and wraps around the contour of the container. The belt surface contacting the container exerts a frictional force that is greater than the frictional force applied to the container by guide rails as the star wheel moves the container past the guide rails. The container is thus restrained against rotation within the pocket during the cap application process.
