Abstract
A pusher has one or more pockets for receiving glass containers like bottles. Each pocket is defined by a corner between a finger and a side portion. To positively locate the bottles in their pockets, a jet of air is directed at each bottle proximate the heel in a direction from the finger surface towards the corner so that the bottle will be forcefully pulled into the corner and held there.
