ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for orientating circular can ends having an eccentric aperture encompassing the geometric center of the can end comprises a supply stack for delivering can ends to a table and a first conveyor for moving can ends one by one to a first station at which the center of successive can ends is precisely located. Can ends are then engaged by fingers on a second conveyor and drawn along a support track. The dragging action of the fingers in co-operation with a guide causes the can ends to adopt a required orientation in which the center trails behind the finger from that part of the aperture most remote from the center.
