ABSTRACT:
A loading apparatus for elongated articles comprises a first conveying device for transporting the articles from a ready-supply station to an aligning and gathering apparatus and then to a layer-forming apparatus, from where they are transported layerwise by means of a second conveying device into a container in which they are stacked in layers on a support which is lowerable stepwise. The first conveying device comprises a plurality of beams which are movable in and oppositely to the conveying direction and are liftable and lowerable. The aligning and gathering apparatus comprises a plurality of abutments past which the beams are movable, the articles lying on them being held fast so that they are aligned parallel to each other and pushed into lateral contact with each other. The layer-forming apparatus comprises a stationary support whose supporting surface is just as wide as one layer in the container. The second conveying device comprises conveying arms which are movable in and oppositely to the conveying direction and are liftable and lowerable. Two conveyor belts arranged one in succession to the other in the conveying direction can also be used for aligning and gathering the elongated articles and for layer forming.
