Each tappet is provided with a prehensile bottle gripping device at the lower end thereof for gripping a bottle and a curved cam plate is provided for raising each tappet and the bottle held thereby to the bottle filling position whereupon the latch pin will be moved into engagement with a bore in the tappet to hold the tappet and bottle in filling position without the assistance of the cam plate. Upon completion of the filling operation the latch is released to allow the filled bottle to be lowered under the influence of gravity.</p> |
