Abstract
A reciprocating bottle filling assembly is provided with an improved centering guide comprised of two parts. The upper part is rigid and provides support for a pliable non-metallic lower part having a continuous downwardly and outwardly flaring lower surface. The lower surface flexes and deforms easily whereby a bottle can be centered without breakage and a seal provided at the bottle top. A gap is provided between the upper and lower parts around their outer portions improving flexibility of the outer portion of the lower part.
