<p>: A transfer device is disclosed for use with conveying apparatus consisting of a rotary supply device for delivering a series of articles traveling in a first path with the articles having a uniform first orientation in relation to such path, and a rotary receiving device driven synchronously with the supply device for conveying containers in either direction in a second path substantially parallel to the first path and for receiving on each container one of the articles in a second orientation inclined at a predetermined angle to the second path. The transfer device of the invention consists of a transfer drum rotatable in synchronism with the supply and receiving devices about an axis inclined to a perpendicular to the first and second paths by an angle equal to half such predetermined angle. The drum is located to receive each article from the supply device and after a rotation of substantially 180.degree. to deliver each article to the containers on the receiving device in the second orientation.</p> |
