Apparatus particularly adapted for handling spherical closures having a flat portion at its open end wherein the randomly arranged closures are first manipulated to cause them to assume an oriented open end down position on a rotary disk whereupon the closures are aligned and discharged from the disk into a delivery chute. Provision is also made for preventing entrance into the chute of those closures in the line which inadvertently assume an open end up position and for rejecting such closures to be returned to the disk.
