Abstract: A cap lining machine includes a circular score cutter and an anvil to produce cap liners in a rapid and dust free manner. The machine is fed by two streams of caps. The first stream is a conventional gravity feed. The second stream indexes a cap into position with a worm screw. The two stream feed mechanism inputs two caps simultaneously to a rotatable plate having receiving pockets therein. The plate presents the caps to the score cutter/anvil cutting station. After the cap liners are formed they are inserted into the cap by a pusher element. The pusher includes an override spring to prevent damage to inverted caps. In order to further minimize dust the web of liner material is cut only after twelve liners have been cut. Critical portions of the machine are enclosed in a dust-free housing. Moving parts are automatically lubricated by a pump mechanism. The machine is able to produce and insert cap liners at a very high rate of speed and in a reliable and dust-free manner.
