ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for supplying can ends or the like to a downstream processing unit, such as a rotary carousel feeder unit or the like comprises a generally horizontal trough section for accumulating in stacked array can ends delivered from an upstream source. A transfer pocket is disposed generally vertically above and to one end of the trough section for receiving a quantity of can ends in stacked array from the trough section. An intermediate transition chute of generally arcuate configuration extends upwardly from the trough section to the transfer pocket to interconnect the two. A transport arrangement is provided for separating out and driving a quantity of the stacked accumulated ends in the trough section along the trough section and through the arcuate chute and further into the transfer pocket. A retaining arrangement is provided for maintaining the quantity of stacked ends in the vertically disposed transfer pocket upon retraction of the transport arrangement. The transport arrangement comprises a horizontal transport portion for transporting the separated can ends through the trough section and into the arcuate chute and also includes a rotatable swing-arm for driving the quantity of ends fully through the arcuate section of said chute and into the vertical transfer pocket.
