ABSTRACT:
A machine for positioning containers such as plastics bottles has an upper, larger disc (11) and a lower, smaller disc (12) which rotate together about an axis inclined to the vertical in order to transfer containers from a lower level to a higher level. During this transfer the containers are positioned in peripheral recesses in the disc (11). Below each peripheral recess, a chute or passageway (20) extends from the disc (11) to the disc (12), and a fixed annular plate (14) projects between the recesses and the passageways (20) to prevent containers falling into the passageways (20) except at the higher level where there is a discontinuity on the plate (14). The recesses for receiving the containers circling the periphery of the disc (11) are formed by detachable parts (16) which can be interchanged with replacement parts (16) to suit the particular shape of the containers being handled. Also, the passageways (20) are detachably mounted around the peripheries of the discs (11) and (12) and are interchangeale with replacement passageways (20) to suit the shape of the containers being handled.
