ABSTRACT:
An article feeding appartus for supplying articles includes a base member with a side wall member having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is secured to the base member. A rim member is secured to the second surface of the side wall member. An elevating turret is centrally disposed relative to the base member. A plurality of inclined ramp segments are operatively connected to the elevating turret and radially extend from the centrally disposed elevating turret towards the side wall member for forming a reservoir area into which articles may be supplied. A drive member is provided for rotating the base member, side wall member, rim and elevating turret at a predetermined speed. An elevating member is operatively positioned within said elevating turret and operatively connected to the plurality of ramp segments for sequentially elevating predetermined ramp segments to permit articles deposited within the reservoir section to be transported upwardly and fall by means of gravity outwardly onto the rim.
