TRANSFER FROM A NUMBER OF CONVEYORS TO A SINGLE CONVEYOR

摘要

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for transferring bottles arriving in an upright position and in laterally adjacent rows on a feed conveyor into a single row of bottles on a downstream or discharge conveyor. The bottles are shifted laterally solely under a gravity effect from the feed conveyor, across an intermediate conveyor whereat they are successively accelerated to the downstream conveyor.
