ABSTRACT:
In transfer apparatus for receiving lightweight articles such as containers made of plastic material, from a chute, and delivering them to a conveying means, the combination is provided of a turntable or dial having partition members forming circularly disposed receiving pockets rotatable in a generally horizontal plane below and successively in registry with the chute discharge opening, such pockets arranged for removal of the articles by the conveying means in a horizontal direction on reaching a discharge area on an arcuate path of travel thereof. Pocket loading means synchronized with movement of the dial are preferably used. The method involves successively feeding the articles individually at regular intervals to the rotating pockets, advancing the articles in the pockets along an arcuate path to a discharge area and continuously moving each article out of such discharge area in a direction generally tangential to the arcuate path.
