Abstract
An improved apparatus for supplying fluid such as liquid lubricant or glue to a partially assembled container during assembly thereof. The apparatus employs a flexible tube pump driven by a reciprocatable frame or structure on a container assembling machine via a lever arm acting through a one-way clutch assembly to thereby rotate the tube pump rotor in successive increments of rotation of less than 360.degree.. In one embodiment, apparatus is disclosed in which a liquid dispensing head is reciprocated into and out of engagement with a partially assembled container by means of a reciprocatable frame and actuation of the flexible tube pump is obtained after such engagement in response to additional movement of the frame relative to the liquid dispensing head. In another embodiment, means are disclosed for preventing dispensing of liquid when a container will not be present at the liquid dispensing station.
