ABSTRACT:
An apparatus 10 controls the orientation of a lid section 16 prior to mating the lid section 16 with a pail section 14 to form a complete container 17. The lid section 16 has bunghole 18 of a preselected diameter positioned at a preselected radial distance from the center of the lid section 16. The bunghole 18 is defined by an annular wall extending a preselected distance from a lower surface of the lid section 16. A first plate 54 receives the lid section 16 with the bunghole 18 extending into a central passage 56. The central passage 56 extends athrough 56 the plate 54 with an upper section 58 of the passage 56 having a preselected width at least twice the preselected radial distance of the bunghole 18 from the center of the lid section 16. A lower section 60 of the passage 56 has a preselected width at least as wide the bunghole diameter. A gating mechanism 28 has a substantially V-shaped cross section and is positioned within the central passage 56 between the upper and lower sections 58, 60 with the apex of the V-shaped cross section adjacent the lower section 60 of the central passage 56. The gating mechanism 28 is adapted for receiving the bunghole 18 of the lid section 16. A pneumatic cylinder 26 is connected to the gating mechanism 28 and operates to move the gating mechanism 28 between first and second preselected positions to respectively receive and release the lid section 16.
