Abstract
A bottle support apparatus to supply additional outboard support to a resilient thermoplastic bottle during capping with a bottle capping device. The outboard support device provides additional arcuate support for the bottle neck by encircling the remaining free portion of the lower bottle neck not engaged by the capping machine so that thin walled thermoplastic resin bottles will not be distorted by the force of the capping machine during operation.
