Zusammenfassung:An apparatus for installing a plastic carrier onto a plurality of side-by-side cans includes a pair of canted discs arranged for rotation around non-coincident intersecting axes. A number of shoes around the periphery of each disc, engage opposite edges of the carrier and expand the carrier as the discs rotate, while a conveyor moves the side-by-side cans into registry with the expanded carrier. A rolling depressor, between the discs, presses downwardly on the expanded carrier, urging the carrier away from the shoes and onto the cans.
