Abstract
Rotary transport of singulated articles, i.e., utilizing the periphery of a rotating transport disc to advance an article from one stationary work station to another. Particularly, radially outwardly pushing the article from the rotating transport disc into the peripheral stationary work station and, as work is completed upon the article, sequentially pushing the article radially inwardly from the work station into re-engagement with the rotating disc periphery, which transports the article to another work station or exit.
