Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus enable horizontally transporting a succession of objects, such as glass bottles, without bottom support and yet maintaining precise, consistent centerline location. A pair of continuous transport belts are supported, preferably by a pair of complimentary interlocking belts, to maintain a substantially constant distance between the facing object-supporting surfaces. Preferably, the interlocking belts are made of alternating teeth and grooves transverse to the horizontal transfer path. The belts are rendered substantially inextensible transverse to the direction of the path.
