ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for assembling cartons and delivering the cartons in rows to preselected locations includes a framework upon which a conveyor is positioned to receive cartons and to advance the cartons to an assembly station, a stop gate at the assembly station adapted to stop-forward movement of the cartons as they are received at the assembly station, a positioning gate at the assembly station mounted for lateral, reciprocal movement to alternately shift cartons received at the assembly station in opposite lateral directions until a complete row of cartons extending laterally of the apparatus is assembled at the assembly station and a pair of pusher members disposed adjacent the assembly station to push the assembled row of cartons off the forward end of the apparatus.
The method of the present invention includes the steps of advancing cartons in a first direction, terminating movement of the carton in the first direction at an assembly station, alternately moving cartons at the assembly station in opposite directions perpendicular to said first direction to form a row of cartons at the assembly station, and advancing the cartons as a row in said first direction to deliver the cartons to a preselected location.
