Abstract
It is the object of the present invention to provide a machine for applying covers or caps on container closures such as the bung hole closure of beer casks or the like, there being mounted a feed chute pivotally mounted about a horizontal cross shaft for the caps to be handled, and having a pressure member at its free end with which the caps are pressed in a single operation in their end position on and about the closures. The feed chute is spring-loaded to allow automatic passage of the pressure member over the cask edge which lies above the level of the closure, by vertical strokes over the cask edge.
