ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to bail applying mechanism particularly for plastic containers with molded-on ears with access openings to the interior of the ear. These plastic containers are usually provided with wire bails when the container is empty. These plastic containers may have their body formed with a taper. "Shingling" of tapered containers is prevented by a guide rail disposed immediately above the transported containers. This guide rail extends through the bail applying station. A backup is also provided when and where the plastic container is provided with molded-on ears having an access opening. This bail applying mechanism may also be used with metal containers with attached sheet metal ears which may be absent apertures for the wire bail or the apertures may be mispositioned if present. This bail applying mechanism has a pair of curling dies, each pivotally secured, and with each die is formed a receiving and retaining recess and there is a reciprocably moved pin which is caused to enter the recess and engage and fixedly position the curling die prior to moving the wire end of the bail to and through the die and into the ear of the container. A cover member is moved into a position in which a groove in the curling die is covered during the forming and inserting of the wire bail end into the ear.
