Abstract
An apparatus for selectively orienting bottles by the apparatus in random first-end leading and first end trailing dispositions to substantially uniform first end leading dispositions. The apparatus includes transport means which engages each bottle at two surface portions which lie on a common lateral axis of such bottle and transport each bottle while it is so engaged at a predetermined speed. Booster means engage a third portion of each such bottle remote from such common lateral axis and urge the portion so engaged to move in the same direction at a higher predetermined speed. Thus, each bottle will tend to pivot about the common lateral axis of the portions engaged by the transport means. Stop means prevent the bottle which is initially in first end leading disposition from so pivoting but permit any bottle which is initially in second end leading disposition to pivot towards a first end leading disposition. The foregoing abstract should not be taken either as a complete exposition or as a limitation of the present invention.
