ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system for flanged containers includes downwardly inclined, laterally-spaced rails for supporting the flanges of the containers as the containers move by gravity toward a take-away conveyor. Control means are provided for permitting each container to move by gravity on the rails into engagement with a leading edge of an adjacent aperture in the take-away conveyor with flanges of each container still supported by a lower section of the spaced rails. Preferably the lower section is movable, and an actuating system is provided for moving it to positively direct a lower trailing end of each container into its adjacent aperture.
