Abstract
Apparatus for filling, capping and dating thin-walled plastic milk bottles. The date is embossed into the caps just before they are applied to the filled bottles while they are retained in indexed position by a special ratchet-pawl arrangement. The caps are screwed on by a rotating chuck having jaws that engage only a portion of the periphery of the cap. There is a lost-motion connection between the chuck and its spindle.
