  • Patent number: 3952855
    Abstract: Discloses a machine for feeding groups of bottles in one-by-one fashion onto an outlet conveyor. The machine involves the use of a spacing conveyor interposed between the feed conveyor and an outlet conveyor and channel means disposed over the end of the feed conveyor so as to orient the groups of bottles in side-by-side rows. Spacing guides are positioned on the spacing conveyor at an angle so that a row of the bottles in side-by-side relationship are retained on the spacing conveyor while the foremost row is angled so that the bottles reach the output belt at different times and can then be carried away one at a time. The spacing guides are angled so that the last bottle in one row is fed onto the outlet conveyor before the first bottle of the next row is fed onto the outlet conveyor.
