ABSTRACT:
A fill belt (conveyor) carries boxes successively to a fill position where the magnetic articles (steel needles) are introduced into each box. They are fed from a vibrating bowl, controlled by a solenoid actuated gate. As the articles approach the box in a spout, they are demagnetized to facilitate flow thereof. As they are placed in the box they are magnetized in the box to align them in proper position. This magnetizing alignment is performed in a series of steps, and they are demagnetized after each step, including the final step when they are in their final condition for use. The quantity of articles in a box is sensed by a Hall generator sensor which utilizes the magnetic field in the articles for producing a control signal. While the articles are being deposited in the box, the spout is reciprocated along the path of the fill belt through the range of the box. A feed conveyor feeds the empty boxes to the fill belt, where a switch controls the travel of the feed conveyor in response to the box being placed on the fill belt. Adjustments can be made for accommodating boxes of different sizes, the box itself by its size controlling the positioning of it at the fill position, and effecting a signal in the Hall generator sensor according to the quantity of articles in the box.
