ABSTRACT:
A device for transferring small discrete objects such as pharmaceutical stoppers andn caps including a frame movably positionable at a predetermined location for delivery of the objects and an angularly displaced conveyor on the frame having a discharge chute at the predetermined location for discharge in objects thereto. The conveyor includes a conveyor chain apparatus defining a path from a transfer point to the discharge chute. The chain has bucket flight apparatus for conveying the objects along the path. A delivery chute is also on the frame for transferring the objects to the transfer point. The delivery chute includes a first tray inclined with the horizontal and having an open lower terminal end adjacent the transfer point positioned to feed the objects to the conveyor chain. The delivery chute further includes a second tray located within the first tray at the same or greater angle with the horizontal and positioned to receive the objects. The second tray has an open lower terminal end for feeding the objects to the first tray. The delivery chute further includes vibrating apparatus for oscillating both of the trays to impart movement of the objects toward the lower terminal ends of the tray. Finally, a hopper apparatus is provided, which is removably mounted on said frame for holding a quantity of the objects. The hopper apparatus includes a hopper chute for gravity feed of the objects to the delivery chute.
