ABSTRACT:
A machine for feeding injection molded plastic lids from a gathering area to which they have been delivered in either scrambled or stacked relationship to a delivery point where the lids are oriented for subsequent delivery to a lid stacking machine or to a point of use. The lid feeding machine comprises a first driven belt in a generally horizontal plane but slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal on its longitudinal axis and a second driven belt in a generally vertical plane but also slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal on its longitudinal axis, the belts being juxtaposed in approximately 90.degree. angular relationship on their transverse axes, whereby when lids are delivered to the gathering area, which is at one end of the first belt, they are moved, by the first belt, toward the second belt and are then engaged by the second belt to insure separation and vertical orientation thereof and, as engaged by the second belt, are driven along a lid feed path toward a point of delivery which is at the other end of the first and second belts. The normally lowermost end of the longitudinal axis of the first belt defines the gathering area and the uppermost end of the longitudinal axis of the second belt is adjacent the gathering area. The belts span the distance between the gathering area and the point of delivery, with the uppermost, other end of the first belt being at the delivery area and the lowermost, other end of the second belt being adjacent the delivery area.
