METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FEEDING CONTAINERS

摘要

A method and apparatus for feeding containers along a path to a container-processing apparatus includes a pair of plenums that have inner apertured walls on opposite sides of said path with flanges extending from each wall to define chambers or guide channels that receive opposite ends of the container. Pressurized fluid is introduced into the plenums and flows through the apertures to produce moving bodies of pressurized fluid in said chambers to substantially suspend the containers in the chambers.
