Abstract
Apparatus for stabilizing bottles and like articles after transfer to an underlying conveyor. A bottle ejected from a turret or other transport device is trapped under an inclined belt, and steadied thereby to travel in an upright orientation at the speed of the underlying conveyor. The inclined belt is depressed by a downwardly biased plate, which is pivotally mounted at its upstream end to a vertically adjustable spring retainer block.
