ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an apparatus for effecting the orientation of shallow disc-shaped articles such as closures, lids and caps so that all such articles are moving at high speed in side by side relationship with each article having its recessed side in the same orientation as all other articles. Such orientation is accomplished by the employment of a single rotating wheel, the elastomeric peripheral surface of which projects through one wall of a feed chute through which the successive articles are moving at high speed in side by side relationship, and co-operates with an aperture in the opposite side wall of the chute to effect the selective direction of the successive articles into either one of two transfer chutes disposed in Y-shaped, tangential relationship to the end of the first mentioned chute according to whether the recessed face of the article is facing toward or away from the wheel periphery.
