Abstract
A container conveying device includes two conveyor wheels mounted for rotational movement for conveying containers along either one of a main path of movement for containers to be used later, or a shunt path of movement for containers to be removed and inspected or discarded. A pair of tongue members are mounted for pivotal movement in the vicinity of both of the wheels, one of the members conforming to the contours of the containers to engage and confine containers moving along either one of the paths. The other tongue member is adapted to engage and confine containers moving along at least the main path of movement.
