ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A feeding apparatus comprising an upper movable carrier comprising a plurality of guides, such as, for example, receptacles, which are transported at a predetermined speed and with a predetermined spacing along a predetermined path. The guides each have an open bottom and are each adapted to receive articles which are individually fed thereto. Over a first portion of its path, each guide lies immediately above a lower carrier which closes the bottom of and moves in synchronism with the said guide, so as to allow one of the said articles to become held within the said guide by the said lower carrier for a sufficient period of time as to allow the said article to settle. Over a subsequent portion of the path, the guide and the lower carrier are separated from one another, thereby exposing the article on the lower carrier with accurately defined position and timing. The invention sets out to provide feeding apparatus capable of presenting articles in accurately defined sequence at a relatively high rate and with a sample and cheap construction.
