As the containers are advanced by a conveyor, a carriage reciprocates adjacent the conveyor. A rotary drum is mounted on an inclined axle on the carriage. The objects are supplied to the drum in the form of a band in which the objects are spaced apart. The drum holds the individual objects while they are severed from the band by a reciprocating knife. Rotation of drum positions each object in a correct angular position with respect to the side wall of the container. An adhesive applicator is also positioned on the carriage to apply adhesive to the side wall of the container. A transfer arm applies the object against the side wall of the container where it is retained by the adhesive. | |
