ABSTRACT:
An endless horizontal conveyor discharges cartons of necked bottles onto a horizontal tabletop aligned with the endless conveyor insuring carton-to-carton movement of the bottles beneath the discharge end of a gravity chute feeding a series of bottle carriers, individually supplied to the gravity chute from a nested carrier stack onto bottles. The carriers are pulled onto the bottles by movement of the cartons and the bottles carried thereby. A keeper plate adjacent the discharge end of the gravity chute and downstream therefrom insures contact between the tops of the leading end bottles in each carton and the leading end of the carrier. Movement of the carton-contained bottles pulls the carriers from the chute and deposits the carriers in proper position overlying the tops of the bottles to form six-pack or eight-pack groups. An applicator wheel downstream of the chute discharge area for the carrier presses the carriers downwardly to force the bottle tops to penetrate through given holes into the carriers corresponding to the bottle position to cause the carriers to frictionally grip the bottle necks below the bottle caps. No positive drive synchronization is required for the carton conveyor, the means for feeding the carriers from the stack within the hopper to the gravity chute or the applicator wheel for pressing the carrier downwardly onto the bottle necks.
