ABSTRACT:
A feed assembly for use in filling a container with tablets or other materials is disclosed. The assembly includes a spiral chute which is constructed of a series of interconnected chute segments having a stepped configuration between adjacent segments. A segment support is located in the vertical wall at each junction of chute segments. The action resulting from the protrusions provided by the segment supports, together with the drop caused by the stepped configuration between chute segments, assists in allowing the tablets to remain in motion as they travel along the chute rather than backing up or "freight-training" along the length of the chute.
