A machine for inserting pouring spouts in caps, provides for feeding the caps to an indexing work table through an inlet apparatus which coordinates the position of the caps with the position of the indexing table. Mounting apparatus is provided to mount the caps on the indexing work table, which table moves the caps in a coordinated sequence to work positions where the pouring spouts are inserted in the caps. The indexing work table then moves the caps to an outlet position where ejecting apparatus removes the caps with the inserted spouts from the indexing work table, the pouring spouts on the caps are placed in the desired position and the caps are properly oriented as the caps leave the area of the spout inserting machine. A pneumatic assembly provides for the delivery of the container tops to the indexing table and for transfer of the container tops with the inserted spouts away from the indexing work table. The indexing table is coordinated with the mounting apparatus, ejecting apparatus, and the inserting apparatus by a power transmission system powered by an indexing drive. |
