ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for use in combination with a supporting surface for handling a plurality of articles segregated into separate groups with each group having the articles thereof arranged in a predetermined pattern. The apparatus includes an upright framework having an infeed section and a discharge section. The sections are adapted to be disposed adjacent spaced peripheral segments of the surface. Each group is successively positioned initially at a station disposed at the infeed section. A plurality of frame elements are movably carried on the framework and are actuated by a first means in a timed sequence so that a frame element is moved into an encompassing relation with a group of articles disposed at the station. The group and encompassing frame element are moved as a unit by a second means from the station across the surface to the discharge section. Upon reaching the discharge section the group and frame element become separated from one another with the group and associated frame element moving onto separate divergent planes. The separated frame element is returned to the station of the infeed section wherein the first means causes the returned frame element to encompass another group of articles disposed at the station.
