ABSTRACT:
An adjustable pocket mechanism for a vertical cartoner includes a plurality of adjustable pockets to accommodate different sizes of cartons. The pocket mechanism includes a pair of endless parallel chains which pass around a pair of upper and lower sprockets. The mechanism also includes a pair of transport lugs or pocket forming members which define the outer parameters of a carton. A first of lugs or leading lug is fixed to a first of the chains but moves freely with respect to a second of the chains while a second of the lugs is fixed to the second of the chains and free to move with respect to the first chain. A clutch assembly may be used to adjust the position of the chains relative to one another in order to vary the size of the pocket. The adjustable pocket mechanism also includes a guide rod disposed in a sleeve.
