ABSTRACT:
Means for orienting containers of the type having a concave face, such as glass liquor flasks, while they are being conveyed, so that their concave faces are all toward a selected direction. As they are being conveyed the containers are biased against a specially contoured surface on a fixed shoe along which they slide. A container whose concave face is already facing the shoe slides along the contoured shoe surface without being turned or reoriented; but a misoriented container, whose concave face is reversed to the shoe, is turned by the special shape of the shoe surface to a crosswise position on the conveyor. The containers turned crosswise (but only those containers) are then further rotated to the desired orientation, the reverse of their original orientation, by conveying them past a brake which engages endwise surfaces of the crosswise containers and which slows or arrests that portion of such containers as the movement of the conveyor turns them toward the desired orientation.
