Abstract
This invention pertains to a container actuated converging apparatus wherein bailed containers in random order are delivered from one or two bail-applying mechanisms in oriented condition with their bails slidably retained in bail guides. These bailed containers are advanced to a converging mechanism where apparatus is provided to insure that only one container at a time is fed from these plural conveyors to a single conveyor. This converging apparatus is so arranged and disposed that it will accept and pass a stream of containers from either of the conveyors to the single conveyor when the other conveyor is empty of containers.
