Abstract
A loading apparatus for supplying container bodies to a mandrel forming part of a can trimming machine is disclosed herein. The loading apparatus consists of a plunger that is guided on the machine frame for axial movement towards and away from the mandrel and moved by a shaft having an arm extending radially therefrom with a link connecting the arm and the plunger. The shaft is rotated between angular extreme positions by a continuously driven cam member to oscillate the arm between positions and reciprocate the plunger towards and away from the mandrel.
