Abstract
An improved sealing machine cap pickup is disclosed. The cap pickup is mounted on a sealing machine to feed closure caps onto filled containers being carried through the machine and to lightly turn the caps onto the containers. The pickup includes an improved universally mounted cap guide which directs the caps to a cap applying means such as spaced resiliently mounted and relatively deep cap applying belts or cap rotating friction shoes. Pressure backup plates are positioned above the cap rotating means for urging the caps downwardly at the correct rate as they are turned onto the moving containers.
