ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for arranging overcaps in like orientation. The apparatus includes a cylindrical bin for holding a large number of jumbled overcaps. The bin has an opening on one side along which a chute is located. A cylindrical array of horizontal flight bars, each pivotal about a horizontal axis and each having a multiplicity of pick-up sites spaced therealong, is arranged to rotate through the bin such that the bars pass the edge of the chute seriatim along a downward arc. Each pick-up site includes an overcap-receiving cavity and a pick-up pin extending from an overcap support surface. The device includes means to pivot the flight bars to different orientations depending on their positions of rotation within the bin. The configuration of the pick-up sites and the control of flight bar orientation serves to capture overcaps on the pick-up pins and deposit them in like orientation on the chute for movement toward an automatic capper.
