Abstract
A method and apparatus for transferring containers having projections horizontally extending from a pair of opposite sides thereof between a vertically moving tray and a pair of generally horizontally disposed transfer tracks which can be moved between (a) an inner position in vertical alignment with the container projections for transferring a container to or from an upwardly or downwardly moving tray, respectively, and (b) an outer position in which the transfer tracks are displaced outwardly and laterally of the container projections, to allow a container on an upwardly or downwardly moving tray to pass unimpeded past the transfer tracks when transfer thereof from the tray is not desired.
