Abstract: A beverage carrier (package) handle feeder and inserter which is utilized in association with a conveyor for transporting beverage carriers from one location to another. The beverage carrier handle feeder and inserter has a pair of spaced apart cylindrically-shaped members. Each cylindrically-shaped member has a spiral groove formed therein for engaging and feeding the handles to a preselected position with respect to the beverage carriers. A support rod is located adjacent one end of the cylindrically-shaped members for supporting a plurality of handles to be engaged by and fed by the cylindrically-shaped member. Due to the specific angular relationship between the cylindrically-shaped members and the beverage carriers, and due to the design of the handles, individual handles are systematically inserted into individual beverage carriers during the feeding procedure.
