METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING FORMATION OF MOVING CYLINDRICAL ARTICLES INTO SINGLE FILE Abstract of the Disclosure Method and apparatus are disclosed for facilitating formation of moving cylindrical articles, such as thin walled cans, into single file. The apparatus includes a plurality of diverting arms within a single filing area formed between two plate members having apertures formed therein so that air expelled through the apertures causes movement of conveyed articles not then in single file toward a peripheral guide member and movement of articles then in single file adjacent to the guide member in a direction through the single lining area substantially parallel to the guide member. The spaced diverting arms are pivotably mounted on a mounting plate and biased so that the article engaging portions of the arms are successively engagable with articles not then in single file adjacent to the guide member to thereby yieldably urge such articles into single file with the mounting plate also having apertures therein through which air is expelled to additionally urge the articles toward single file, and with those articles, not in single file when passing the arm positioned to last engage articles not then in single file, being ejected.
