Abstract: A guide rail system for guiding containers in preselected positions on one or more conveyors. The guide rail system has inner and outer subsystems for locating the containers on the conveyor. The inner subsystem includes one or more offset adjustable point devices, each located at a preselected offset location adjacent to a straight segment of the conveyor and spaced apart from a boundary between it and a curved segment by a preselected distance. The inner subsystem also has one or more first and second transition rail portions, each mounted to said at least one offset adjustable point device, for engaging the containers as they are moved on the straight segment and the curved segment respectively. The first and second transition rail portions are positionable by the offset adjustable point device to locate the containers in the preselected positions.

Abstract: A guide rail system for guiding containers on a conveyor on which the containers are moved. The guide rail system includes first and second contact portions for engaging the containers to at least partially locate the containers respectively in preselected positions on a surface of the conveyor, first and second adjustment elements positioned proximal to first and second sides of the conveyor respectively, on which the first and second contact portions are mounted, and first and second adjustable point devices spaced apart from each other along the first and second sides respectively, for moving the adjustment elements transversely. The system also includes one or more height adjustment assemblies for positioning side contact portions selected from the group consisting of the first contact portions, the second contact portions, and the first and second contact portions in predetermined locations therefor relative to the surface of the conveyor.
