ABSTRACT:
Packaging machinery for alternately inverting, collecting and grouping tapered objects in suitable quantities for packaging is disclosed. Two or more lines of containers proceed in parallel, one line remaining upright while an adjacent line is inverted in a turnover unit. Where the tapered objects are containers of products, great care and delicate handling are needed to avoid spillage or leakage. The turnover units accomplish the careful inversion of containers by indexing each container to be inverted through a radial path. Along the path the containers are first supported by carrying plates contacting the bottoms of the containers, then by the member forming the radial path, and finally by succeeding support plates contacting the tops of the containers. The adjacent line or lines of upright containers proceed in parallel with those passing through the turnover unit and a shuttling carriage groups the output of the lines for suitable nesting and arrangement.
