Improvements are disclosed in a machine for applying carrier stock of resilient polymeric material to substantially identical containers, each having an upper rim of a given diameter and a side wall of a larger diameter. The carrier stock has container-receiving apertures in longitudinal rows. A conveyor conveys the containers in longitudinal rows. A wheel assembly comprising two wheels with paired jaws receives the stock, stretches the stock transversely, and moves the stock downwardly past the rims. The conveyor, the wheel assembly, and the jaws on one wheel are adjustable for applying the stock selectively in a rim-applied carrier position or in a side-applied carrier position. The conveyor is supported by a table and is adjustable vertically, via spacers insertable between the table and a base. The wheel assembly is adjustable longitudinally, via rollers on longitudinal rails. The jaws on one wheel are adjustable transversely, via screws.

A machine for applying carrier stock to substantially identical containers in a rectangular array, the carrier stock being of a type made from resilient polymeric material with band segments defining container-receiving apertures in a rectangular array, each container being of a type having an upper rim of a given diameter and a side wall of a larger diameter, the machine comprising (a) means for conveying the containers in a horizontal, longitudinal direction of movement, in longitudinal rows, (b) means for applying the carrier stock to the containers by receiving the carrier stock, stretching the carrier stock transversely, at right angles to the direction of movement of the containers, and moving the carrier stock downwardly past the upper rims of the containers as the containers are conveyed, and (c) means for adjusting relative positions of the conveying and applying means so as to enable the applying means to apply the carrier stock to the containers in a selected one of two positions, namely a rim-applied carrier position, in which the carrier stock engages the containers near the upper rims, and a side-applied carrier position, in which the carrier stock engages the containers along the side walls, wherein the applying means comprises a wheel assembly rotatable on a transverse axis, which extends at right angles to the direction of movement of the containers, the wheel assembly including a first wheel and a second wheel spaced along the transverse axis from the first wheel, the first and second wheels having jaws in transversely opposed pairs, the jaws constituting means for receiving the carrier stock, stretching the carrier stock transversely as the second jaws are moved away from the first jaws, and moving the carrier stock downwardly past the upper rims of the containers as the wheel assembly is rotated and the containers are conveyed past the rotating assembly, and wherein the adjusting means comprises means for moving the wheel assembly longitudinally of the direction of movement of the containers.
