ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for loading stacked article groups into cartons in a continuous motion cartoner assembly. The barrel cam loading apparatus or article group transport mechanism is particularly suited to loading article groups that are unstable or whose articles tend to spin and kick article out of the carton. The article group transfer mechanism loads the stacked group by having the lower article group lead the upper article group which tends to make the articles tip backward into a stable contact with the article group transfer mechanism and by forming the upper article group into a nested configuration which has a thinner loading dimension and resists kicking out an article The transfer mechanism comprises plurality of transfer elements disposed at predetermined longitudinally spaced intervals, the transfer elements being for laterally moving article groups which are being longitudinally transported in a stream, each transfer element including a lower contact member and an upper stepped contact member, a support member connected to the contact members, and a control member for directing the lateral movement of the transfer elements.
