ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention relates to bottle feeding apparatus in which milk, beverage or like bottles which are moving continuously in upright position in single file along a path are selectively deflected out of said path. The apparatus is particularly suitable for selectively rejecting from a high speed bottling line conveyor those bottles which an inspection apparatus has detected as being dirty or con- taining foreign bodies. The apparatus comprises means for deflecting the mouth of a faulty bottle transversely of the direction of its forward movement to tilt the axis of the bottle, the neck of a deflected bottle being engaged by a plough, positioned adjacent to and downstream of the deflect- ing means, which is shaped progressively to displace the bottle sideways out of the stream of moving bottles. As a deflected bottle is moved sideways out of the stream it is guided by the plough into a deflection channel and its axis is restored to an upright position by its neck engaging with a rail at the opposite side of the deflection channel and by the squeezing action of adjacent bottles. A second deflecting means may be selectively brought into operation during starting up or slow running of the conveyor to compensate for the differences in conveyor speeds and ensure rejection of only those bottles detected as faulty. -1-
