A machine (10) applies carrier stock (12) of resilient polymeric material to substantially identical containers (14), each having an upper rim (20) of a given diameter and a side wall (22) of a larger diameter. The carrier stock (12) has container-receiving apertures (18) in longitudinal rows. A conveyor (30of Figure 1) conveys the containers (14) in longitudinal rows. A wheel assembly (40) comprising two wheels (42,44) with paired jaws (52,54) receives the stock (12), stretches it transversely, and moves the stock (12) downwardly past the rims (20). The conveyor (30), the wheel assembly (40), and the jaws (52) on one wheel (42) are adjustable for applying the stock (12) selectively in a rim-applied carrier position or in a side-applied carrier position. The conveyor (30) is supported by a table (102, Figure 7) and is adjustable vertically, via spacers (130) insertable between the table (102) and a base (112). The wheel assembly (40) is adjustable longitudinally, via rollers (172) on longitudinal rails (166). The jaws (52) on one wheel (42) are adjustable transversely, via screws (80,90). <IMAGE> |
