<p>A keg locating device includes a carriage (1) mounted for forwards and backwards movement along a carriageway (2). A chime engaging finger (4) is mounted towards the front of the carriage and a keg neck pusher (5) is mounted towards the rear. The mounting between the carriage (1) and cariageway (2) is arranged to cause the carriage (1) to tilt as it moves along and the cariageway (2) is moveable upwards and downwards. In use, with the carriage (1) at the pick-up position the carriageway (2) is raised so that the chime engaging finger (4) engages the inside of the chime of the keg as the carriage (1) moves forwards to pull the keg forwards, further forwards movement of the carriage (1) causing the front of the carriage (1) to tilt downwards so disengaging the chime engaging finger (4) from the chime of the keg and allowing the neck engaging pusher (5) to engage the neck of the keg to push it further forwards until the neck is positioned at the predetermined location.</p> |
