ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for controllably dispensing upright bottles onto a continuous conveyor is provided wherein the bottles are supplied from a duct and there is provided at least two opposed pivotal members each of the pivotal members carrying bottle supporting surfaces at an upper portion and complementary bottle stabilizing and restraining nest defining portions at a lower portion of the pivotal members, the method includes pivotally moving the members so that the supporting surfaces move in an upper path which includes a bottle supporting position and a non-supporting position and the complementary bottle stabilizing and restraining nest defining portions move in a lower path which includes a bottle stabilizing and restraining nest forming position and a bottle release position, supplying an upright bottle from above the supporting surfaces, supporting the bottle on said supporting surfaces when the surfaces are in one location in the upper path, releasing the bottle downwardly when said surfaces are in another location in the upper path, allowing the bottle to contact a conveyor and restraining and stabilizing the bottle on the conveyor with the complementary nest portions when the nest portions are in one location in the lower path, releasing the bottle when the nest portions are in another location in the lower path and supporting another bottle on the supporting surfaces while the nest portions are in a bottle releasing position.
