ABSTRACT:
In a system for conveying bottles or like articles, bottles being conveyed in single file along two or more separate paths are caused to merge and travel in single file along a single path by a device comprising arcuate guide passages and star wheels rotatably supported in concentric relation thereto, each star wheel having a plurality of teeth with respective outer tips lying in a rotational path extending partly into the guide passage, each tooth having a special profile shape defined by leading and trailing edges, the leading edge having a concave arcuate shape of a radius of curvature which substantially corresponds to the radius of said circular cross section and extending from the tip inward to smoothly join the inner end of the trailing edge of the forwardly adjacent tooth, said trailing edge having a convex curved shape and extending outward to the tip of said adjacent tooth, said leading and trailing edges thereby forming a fair S-shaped curve.
