Abstract
An apparatus is provided for arresting the rotation of a container while the container is conveyed so that a peripheral point on the container moves along a predetermined path. A conveyor includes an engagement structure for engaging a first portion of the periphery of the container to convey the container. An endless belt is arranged in a closed path adjacent the conveyor to contact a second portion of the periphery of the container and urge the container against the conveyor engagement structure.
