ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for arranging balloons or the like in a nozzle-up orientation. The apparatus comprises a pair of downwardly inclined, elongate members, at least one of which has an upwardly movable surface, such as the surface of a rotatable roller. The members define a gap therebetween, and a row of spaced, unoriented balloons are fed at random, some with the baggy body leading and others with the less baggy nozzle leading, into the gap at the upper end of the members from below or the underside thereof. A baggy body leading balloon is advanced upwardly by the roller through the gap and discarded, whereas only the nozzle of each less baggy nozzle leading balloon is advanced through the gap. The nozzle leading balloons then slide down the members all arranged in a nozzle-up orientation.
