Claim 19:
20. A machine for arranging objects having an orientation in an alternate manner along single file rows comprising:
a guide configured to transport objects having a common orientation;
a rotatable element placed adjacent said guide and a support plane surface, said rotatable element having a first slot adapted to receive and transport a first one of the objects and a second slot adapted to receive and transport a second one of the objects, the first slot and the second slot separated by a circular sector having an axis of rotation wherein the first slot has a first open end formed in a periphery of the circular sector and the second slot has a second open end formed in the periphery of the circular sector with the first open end and the second open end separated by a predefined angle on the circular sector, said rotatable element configured to alternately rotate clockwise and counterclockwise alternately positioning the first open end and the second open end adjacent said guide, whereby the first one of the objects is received and transported in the first slot and the second one of the objects is received and transported in the second slot;
a first rotation element having a first arc surface between a first rotation element entrance end and a first rotation element exit end wherein the first rotation element entrance end is placed adjacent the support plane surface;
a second rotation element having a second arc surface between a second rotation element entrance end and a second rotation element exit end wherein the second rotation element entrance end is placed adjacent the support plane surface and second rotation element exit end is placed adjacent the first rotation element exit end; and
an exit guide positioned at the first rotation element exit end and the second rotation element exit end to receive the objects,
whereby the objects are arranged with the orientation alternating in the single file rows.
