ABSTRACT:
A container holding device intended for use with a chain conveyor for conveying containers such as bottles. The container holding device for receiving and gripping open-ended containers includes an elongated spindle and a chuck mounted for telescoping movement on the spindle. The chuck includes jaws arranged around the spindle and engageable by a cam on the spindle which controls radial expansion and contraction of the jaws. The jaws support radially outwardly thereof one or more resilient members such as O-rings for applying resilient gripping and friction holding force to the interior surface of the container telescoped over the jaws. For use with an overhead chain conveyor, the container holding device may be attached to a pin depending from the chain. The container holding device may include a housing rotatably mounted on the pin and a sprocket for effecting controlled rotation of the container holding device and hence a container carried thereby during passage through one or more of the processing stations.
