ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for transporting and accumulating containers, specifically oval containers. A pair of opposed side guides are mounted adjacent a conveyer and define a transporting passage therebetween having a width only slightly greater than the small diameter of the containers so that the containers are transported therethrough in a direction substantially parallel with their long diameters. The conveyer has a further pair of side guides associated therewith spaced downstream from the first-mentioned side guides and spaced apart by distance substantially equal to the long diameter of the containers for permitting the containers to be accumulated substantially adjacent one another with the containers disposed with the long diameters thereof extending substantially transverse to the direction of conveyer travel. The first and second sets of side guides are connected by a set of inclined side guides which gradually taper outwardly from the first set to the second set for enabling the individual containers to be gradually turned through approximately 90.degree. relative to the conveyer as they are transported from the transporting zone into the accumulating zone.
