Considerable difficulty has been enfrom the following detailed description.
countered in feeding some kinds of containers, A clear conception of one embodiment of the 20 such as relatively large gallon cans, to rotary invention, and of the mode of constructing and fmers, from bins or similar can supply sources operating can feeds built in accordance with the located laterally of and above these machines, improvement, may be had by referring to the with sufficient speed and accuracy to insure prodrawing accompanying and forming a part of per positioning of the successive cans with rethis specification wherein like reference characg5 spect to the rapidly revolving flller heads or other ters designate the same or similar parts in the mechanism. The cans are usually fed by gravity several views.

Because of the bulk and relatively the filler,

The worm or screw feedcomprising the flight 4 and core'5 is of relatively standard construction, and extends approximately radially withA respect tothe axis of thefilling machine, and the screw supporting frame 'I may be firmly attached to the filler frame I5. The conventional lling machine to which` the can feed has been applied, comprisesgenerally a can support I6v 'secured to the frame I5 and having, an upper surface in horizontal alinement with the upper surface of the disk I0; an annular seriespf can hooks I'I revolvable above the support I6 to transport the cans I8 in succession around the axis of the machine; a liquid or commodity supply reservoir I9 located above and being re-Iv volvable with the hooks I1, and havingl a series of commodity discharge heads or valves 28 cooperable with the successive cans I8; and a filled can discharge disk 2| having an annular series of can hooks 22 associated therewith.
'I'he can supply chute 9 is formed to receive the cans I8 in horizontal position as shown in Fig. 1 and is'adapted to right these cans and deliver the same in succession land in upright position, onto the` peripheral portion of the revolving disk I8 and into the path of action of the flight 4, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2. The
delivery end- I3 of the chute 9 is preferably dlrected at an oblique angle relative to the axis of the shaft 6 and substantially tangent to the can circle of the disk I8, so that the constantly revolving disk I8 will pick up the successive advancing upright cans I8 as soon as they leave the chute discharge end I3, and will positively but gently position the cans against the core 5 and in front of the helical flight 4.
'I'he canguide rail I4 is swingably supported.
upon.an adjustable bracket 23, by means of a pivotpin 24, and the swinging portion of this rail is resiliently Yurged toward the feed screw core 5 by means of a spring 25, so as to constantly urge the advancing cans I8 toward this core. 'I'he supporting bracket 23 for the rail I4 and pivot pin 24 is adjustable toward and away from the can feed screw so as to properly coact with cans I8 of dierent diameters, by means of cap screws 26 coacting with slots in the bracket 23 and with the frame I5. A second rail or guide 21 which is swingable through a horizontal slot in and independently of the rail I4, is also swingably supported from the pivot pin 24 and has a guiding projection 28 extending over and along the periphery of the support I 6. The guide 21 is resiliently urged toward the feed screw by means of a spring 29, and the projection 23 is' arrow as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2. When the empty cans I8 are delivered in succession to the upper end of the chute 9, they fall by gravity through this chute and are simultaneously righted. The righted lcans are delivered in succession from the discharge end I3 of the chute 8 and are deposited upon the revolving upper surface of the disk I8. The revolution of the disk I8 assisted by the inertia of the moving cans,
and by the angular disposition of the chute 3,
causes the successive cansto be gently delivered against the core 5 and between this core and the guide 'rail I4,` directly in advance of the con'- veyor flight 4. The flight 4 thereafter immediately becomes effective to' urge the successive cans I8 in properly spaced relationship toward the filler, and as the can hooks I1 proceed, the successive cans I8 are picked up and thereafter conveyed beneath the commodity supply receptacle I9 and in proper alinement with the successive discharge valve mechanisms 28. The filled cans are ultimately delivered onto the disk -2I and into the path of travel of the final discharge hooks 22, in an obvious manner.
'From the foregoing description it'will be apparent that the improved can feed constituting the present invention is not only simple, compact and durable in construction, but effectively performs its function of righting the cans and of subsequently delivering the successive cans I8 in properly spaced relationship to the ller mechanism. 'I'he disposition of the chute at an angle of approximately forty-five degrees relative to `the verticalplane ofthe shaft 6 has been found quite important, and the use of the revolving disk I8 in conjunction with the chute 9 and conveyor screw, is also important. This particular association of elements has been found to effectively feed relatively large and light cans in properly spaced relationship and without damaging the cans, even when the rate of feeding is at exceptionally high speeds. The resiliently urged guide rail I4 is also important when' a revolving disk I8 is utilized, since this rail will positively maintain the cans in coaction with the core 5 and will thereby eliminate possible movement of the cans away from the conveyor screw. It has also been found that while the use of a chute and screw alone were not satisfactory for feeding large and light cans, the addition of the disk- I8 to the chute and screw has produced a highly satisfactory and efficient feeding assemblage. If
it is not desired to utilize .the chute 9 in the combination, as where the cans'are fed in horizontally, this chute may be omittedand the disk I8 alone my be utilized in conjunction with th'e feed screw, but the invention has been found especially advantageous lin cases where the righting chute 9 is utilized. The improved can feed may obviously be associated with a illler or with yany other mechanism wherein the cans must be fed in properly spaced relationship, and at high speed. and it is not the intention to limit the scope by the specic disclosure of a particular type of can filling mechanism.
It should be understood that it is not desired to limit thisinvention to the exact details of Vconstruction or to the precise mode of operation of the feed mechanism herein shown and described, for various -modifications within the scope of the claims may occur to persons skilled in the art.
