A method of and apparatus for orienting and feeding articles, in particular closure caps having a panel, a skirt and an ear extending from the skirt wherein articles are deposited on an inclined, preferably conical, surface from which they slide down onto a slowly rotating table. Articles are urged by airflow to a peripheral gap which receives only correctly oriented articles and conveys them to a discharge station. Incorrectly oriented articles are returned by airflow to the inclined surface to be re-presented. |
