Abstract
In moving bottles to and from a cleaning machine, the bottles are transported over a stationary support surface by drivers formed on a plurality of juxtaposed rotating discs. Each disc has a pair of angularly spaced drivers and rotates about a common axle. During rotation of the disc, the axle moves transverse to its axial direction back and forth along a substantially straight path. For each complete back and forth movement of the axle, the disc rotates through one-half of a revolution so that one driver of each pair transports one or more bottles from a first station to a second station while the other driver of each pair returns from the second station to the first station.
