Abstract: Apparatus for continuously conveying decorated container members having wet ink images on the outer periphery thereof between a first continuously moving rotatable mandrel wheel type container carrying apparatus of a high speed container decorator or coater machine and a high speed second continuously linearly moving pin chain container carrying apparatus comprising: a continuously rotatable disk type conveyor means rotatably movable in a predetermined endless path between the first and second continuously moving container carrying apparatus including a first path portion located in juxtaposition to the first continuously moving container carrying apparatus for receiving decorated container members therefrom and a second path portion located in juxtaposition to the second continuously moving container carrying apparatus delivering decorated container members thereto; a plurality of individual circumferentially spaced vacuum cup means fixedly peripherally mounted in equally spaced relationship on and extending laterally outwardly of and being continuously movable with said disk type conveyor means in fixed relationship therewith for holding a single container member on each of said vacuum cup means, only by application of vacuum thereto during movement between the first and second continuously moving container carrying apparatus and for releasing container members therefrom only by removal of vacuum therefrom; and vacuum chamber means extending along the path of movement of and in substantially seaied relationship with said disk type conveyor means between the first and second continuously movable container carrying apparatus and being connected to each of said vacuum cup means adjacent to the first continuously moving container carrying apparatus for receiving and holding container members delivered therefrom and being disconnected from each of said vacuum cup means adjacent to the second continuously moving container carrying apparatus for releasing the container members for supportive engagement therewith and being continuously connected to each of said vacuum cup means during movement between the first continuously moving container carrying apparatus and the second continuously moving container carrying apparatus for holding the container members thereon solely by applied vacuum during non-supportive association with the second continuously moving container carrying apparatus.
