Abstract of the Invention A bottle Orientation Unit comprises a bottle feed device for moving bottles of a predetermined configuration along a pre- determined path. A sensing station is located along the pre- determined path. A sensing apparatus is disposed at the sensing station for sensing a predetermined characteristic of each bottle indicative of the bottles orientation as each bottle moves along the predetermined path. A bottle orientation station is located along the predetermined path after the sensing apparatus. A gate device is disposed at the bottle orientation station and is operative between a first and a second condition for on- gaging the neck of each bottle whereby the bottle is oriented into a base leading position along the predetermined path. A control apparatus is responsive to the sensing apparatus and the gate device for operating the gate device between the two condi- tions whereby the bottle is orientated into a base leading posi- tion. The sensing apparatus of the present invention comprises a position sensing device operative in response to the movement of a bottle into the sensing station on the predetermined path for providing a position signal to the control apparatus. An orienta- tion sensing device is operative in response to the position signal for sensing a predetermined characteristics of each bottle and sending a characteristic signal to the control apparatus upon which the gate device is responsive.
