Abstract:
A container-conveying segment includes a driving conveyor and a driven conveyor that couple to each other at a handoff area at which containers are transferred from one to the other. The conveyors comprise star wheels that rotate in opposite directions about their respective vertical machine axes. The rotors interact with one another at the handoff area. A drive couples to the driving conveyor but not to the driven conveyor. The driving conveyor transfers torque to the driven conveyor at a torque-transfer area.

Claim (Index 20):
An apparatus comprising a container-conveying segment comprising a drive, a driving conveyor, and a driven conveyor, wherein said driving conveyor comprises a driving-conveyor rotor that rotates about a driving-conveyor machine-axis and said driven conveyor comprises a driven-conveyor rotor that rotates about a driven-conveyor machine-axis, wherein said driven-conveyor machine-axis is vertical, wherein said driving-conveyor machine-axis is vertical, wherein said driving-conveyor comprises driving-conveyor container-receivers for holding and conveying containers in a conveying direction, wherein said driven-conveyor comprises driven-conveyor container-receivers for holding and conveying containers in a conveying direction, wherein said driving and driven conveyors interact with each other at a handoff area at which a container is transferred between said driven conveyor and said driving conveyor, wherein said driving-conveyor rotor and said driven-conveyor rotor rotate in opposite directions, wherein said drive drives said driving conveyor, wherein said driving conveyor drives said driven conveyor by torque transfer, and wherein said torque transfer occurs at a torque-transfer area.
