ABSTRACT:
A container transport device for the filling of containers with semi-liquid material such as ice cream or the like with the primary aspects of this invention being related to the transportation of the containers from a supply conveyor to a filling station and thereafter to an area which may provide lid application and then to a delivery conveyor. The primary aspects of this invention are the positive control and movement of the containers through the various stations and the proper centering thereof with respect to the filling device. To obtain proper control of the containers through the various operations, a set of longitudinally shiftable and transversely shiftable fork elements are provided for shifting of the containers and the shifting of the containers is correllated with a container elevating device which device elevates the container to a stationary filling head such that filling is started at the very bottom of the container and upon completion the filled container is positioned above the next incoming container such that material being delivered to the containers is not stopped between containers, but rather, the differences in elevation will allow movement of the incoming container into position below the filling spout without overdripping of the material between containers. The device also provides structure for the control of the volume that will be delivered to the container.
