An object of the-invention is the provision of a feeding mechanism having a rotatable feeding element for transferring articles such as can ends'fr'om a receiving station to a delivery station;- wherein the can ends-while in the feeding el'emen'tare rocked or pivoted or transposedrel- 'ative to" the feeding element to bring them into a' desired position at 'the deliverystation at a high'rate of speed.

Numerous other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent as it is "better understood from the following description, which, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, discloses a preferred embodiment thereof.
Referring :to the; drawings:

Shaft 21 is journaled in a bearing 28 formed in the frame II. The shaft 21 is rotated at its lower end by a gear 29 which meshes with and drives gear teeth 30 formed integral with the shaft 21. The gear 29 is mounted on a drive shaft 32 journaled in suitable bearings 33 on the frame II and may be driven in any suitable manner (see Figs. 1 and 2).
The turret 26 is formed with a centrally disposed hub 34 which is surrounded by a gear 35 and which is secured to the turret 25. The gear 35 engages with and drives a pinion 36 mounted on the lower end of the shaft 19. This drives the cover feed or separator in time with the turret feeding mechanism. The turret 26 preferably is operated in time with the separation.
. predetermined plane while still within the pocket.
The forward end of each turret finger 25 is formed with a finger extension 42 which moves over the edge of the lowermost can end A in the magazine 13, as the-advancing finger 25 engages the end. This insures that the can end A (Figs. 1 and 2) is held in the turret pocket 31 preparatory to being fed along its circular path of travel. As the turret 26 continues its rotation in a counterclockwise direction, a viewed in Fig.
1, finger 25 moves the engaged can end from beneath the supply magazine. It sweeps the end over the tracks l6, l1 and along the circular path of travel of the finger 25 and at the same time the end is rocked from its receiving plane into its delivery plane.
Provision is made for keeping the can ends under control at all times while they are being advanced thus insuring smooth and accurate delivery. For this purpose the guide rails I6, H are formed respectively with spiral grooves 45, 46 (Fig. 1) which start on opposite sides of the predetermined plane of the path of the finger 25. These grooves descend and ascend, respectively, in spiral formations, into this predetermined plane, and guide the can ends from the angular plane-intersecting position, in which each is received by the grooves, substantially into coincidence with the predetermined planeu It is while travelling along the grooves 45, 46 that the can ends are rocked in their turret pockets 31 from the angular receiving position (Fig. 2) into a position shown in Fig. 4 where the can end is substantially parallel with the plane of the turret 26. Upon reaching the lower end of the guide rails l6, I! the can ends enter into terminal portions of these rails in the form of a tunnel or housing 48 (see also Figs. 1 and The tunnel is secured to the bolster plate I2.
The tunnel 48 shifts the can ends laterally or radially outward away from the axis of the rotating turret.
The guide rails l6, I! are supported by the tunnel 4B, the lower ends being secured by plates 49. The upper ends of the guide rails are secured to the magazine B. The tunnel 48 is formed with grooves 53, 54 (Fig. 5), which together with the grooves 45, 46 provide uninterrupted tracks along which the can ends A travel. Fig. 1 of the drawings illustrates how the can 4 end A is shifted 0r diverted outwardly of the turret pocket 3! so that upon reaching the lower portion of its path of travel, the can end is clear of the pocket 37. The can end is delivered in a registered position into a die mechanism 51 located at station C. It is to be understood that this die mechanism is merely one example of a variety of can end treating mechanisms which may be associated with the turret feed.
As the turret 26 continues to rotate the outer peripheral wall of the finger 25 sweeps or wipes the outer marginal edge of the can end A into a registered or aligned position in a pocket at station C (Figs. 2 and 3). The outer periphery of the turret finger 25 locks the can end A in position and holds it in place while a punch 58 operated in time with the feeding mechanism moves downward and grips the can end in the die mechanism preparatory to a work performing operation. The. can end A is centralized at station C by means of a plate 62 having a circular outline pocket 63. The plate 62 is secured to the die mechanism 51.
- Following the die performing operation at station C, the can end A is ejected in anysuitable manner from the die mechanism 51 for discharge to a convenient plant of deposit. The next succeeding can end A thereupon moves into position at station C and the work operations are repeated.
It is thought that the invention and many'of its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the form hereinbefore described bein merely a preferred embodiment thereof.
