ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for mounting a cup-shaped support base onto a convex bottom of a container. The apparatus includes adjacent wheels mounted for rotation about angularly related, non-parallel axes, so that the wheels are closer to one another in one circumferential region than in any other such region. In the method, a container is retained on the periphery of one wheel for displacement along a partial-circumferential path. A cup-shaped support base is retained on a second wheel in alignment with a convex bottom on the container. As the wheels rotate, the base and container are displaced in unison to said one circumferential region, with the base progressively moving closer to the convex bottom for their telescopic assembly. An abutment surface, which may be on a third wheel, engages an opposed end on the container while the container is displaced during the final portions of said partial-circumferential path, in order to resist axial displacement of the container as the base is assembled to its convex bottom.
