Abstract
Apparatus for separating and delivering individual box-line containers from a stacked column of nested box-like containers, each container having an upper rim and an outwardly projecting stacking shoulder spaced from the rim, along with a loop-type carrying bail secured at opposed ends to opposite sides of the container body. A yoke element is provided for engaging the carrying bails of the penultimate and successively adjacent numbers of containers in the stack, so as to permit vertical separation of the lowermost container of the column from the remainder of the stack. Associated with the yoke element is a pair of cams which are adapted to engage the bail of the container, which is a predetermined number above the penultimate container in the vertical stack, to apply an inward compressive force thereto to preclude interference with the lowermost container during its separation from the remainder of the stack.
