ABSTRACT:
A bottle orienting apparatus for orienting at high speed a train of successively advancing, randomly oriented, bottles having an open end and a closed end into a train of bottles having a uniform orientation, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a guide system for advancing the bottles in the randomly oriented train, a discriminating system for inverting each of the bottles of open-end leading disposition in the train to an open-end trailing disposition and for passing through the discriminating system without inversion each of the open-end trailing bottles in the train, and a take-off system for removing uniformly oriented bottles from the discriminating system. The discriminating system successively transversely grasps each of the randomly oriented bottles in the train, accelerates each of the bottles into the discriminating system, reorients those of the bottles therein which require reorientation, and releases its grip on the bottles when they have completed their passage through the discriminating system.
The foregoing abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
