Abstract
A container discharger with safety mechanism consisting of a group of finger elements positioned to guide the containers in the initial discharge from the pockets of a conveyor, and in which the finger elements are mounted so as to be readily movable when engaged by even one misplaced or improperly discharged bottle, a safety switch in the power circuit of the apparatus which is actuated in response to the movement of any finger element being engaged by a bottle not in proper discharge position to stop the apparatus, and means to jiggle the fingers with the object in mind of dislodging any improperly placed bottle so that there will be no need to dismantle the apparatus or remove any components.
