Abstract

An article handling apparatus, e.g. for cans and like articles, has means in particular a movable endless vacuum belt for selectively isolating individual cans from a substantially continuously recirculating mass or plurality of cans and then transferring the isolated cans in single file fashion away from the recirculating mass to a discharge station located away from the recirculating mass, in such a fashion as to avoid interference with the normal movements of the recirculating mass of cans. The single file movement of the isolated cans is then continued as the isolated cans are individually transferred from the discharge station to a further location. <IMAGE>
