precisely matching that of the discharge port 58 and coaxially alinged therewith the plugs 18 34 therefore encounter such radiused portions whereby further translational movement within trough 42 is prevented and the plugs 18 34 are discharged downwardly from port 58 in addition it is also noted that in the unlikely but remotely possible instance that one of the plugs 18 does not attain a stable condition or state as shown at 18 34 in fig2 when the plug 18 is in fact within the vicinity of discharge port 58 as shown by plug 18 34 but to the contrary for example is disposed in a transverse mode upon a sidewall portion thereof as shown at 18 39 in fig2 the trough 42 is in effect continued beyond the location of discharge port 58 so as to define an extended portion 64 which is defined between the sidewall portions 60 in this manner the small diameter portion 22 of each plug 18 will be able to be disposed within trough portion 64 while the shoulder portion 24 encounters the restricted wall portions 62 thereby arresting further movement of the plug 18 within the orientation device under the vibrational forces impressed upon the plug 18 the same will pivot such that the small diameter portion 22 will be disposed downwardly and the plug 18 will be discharged from the port 58 in its proper vertical orientation mode obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings for example in order to continuously provide properly oriented plugs 18 34 to the discharge port 58 and the shuttle mechanism operationally interfacing therewith the plugs 18 may be initially delivered to the funnel 12 in.
