ABSTRACT:
In an apparatus for fitting together cup-like or pot-like containers and packaging carriers which engage same and which are supplied by a guide means to the containers which are carried by a conveyor member, to form a packaging unit, the invention seeks to make it possible for the assembly operation to be performed by machine with a high level of through-put capacity and a wide capacity for adaptation to different sizes and quantities of containers or groups of containers.
For that purpose, at least one holder means (20) which temporarily receives the containers (1) which are intended for a packaging carrier (3), from the conveyor member (13), is disposed movably above the conveyor member (13), the substantially horizontal path of movement of the holder means extending between an array of pressure members (60) and abutment members (31), disposed downstream of the guide means (26) for the packaging carriers and forming a pressing station (25), said path of movement downstream of said array touching a discharge conveyor. The operation of supplying the containers (1) and also the operation of removing the packaging unit (1, 3) can be carried out by a single conveyor member (13) which extends beneath the path of movement of the holder means.
