ABSTRACT:
A bottle rinser having a linear path for carried bottles has closely spaced bottle carriers on a lug chain, the carriers receiving the bottles in upright position and being pivoted in a plane perpendicular to the path of chain movement to invert the bottles and carry them over rinse means, then slightly tip the bottles from fully inverted position to aid in draining, and finally being pivoted to restore the bottles to upright position for unloading. The carriers are of stamped and formed construction with an elastomer retainer for simple operation and allowing good bottle exposure for external rinse. Guide rods positioned near the lug chain control carrier pivoting. The rinse means includes a rotating manifold with floating nozzles in its edge, the nozzles being prevented from spraying as they pass under a seal ring during a part of the manifold's rotation, and the nozzles spraying as they follow the mouth of a passing inverted bottle during another part of the manifold's rotation, the manifold's rotation being synchronized with the movement of the lug chain.
