ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for packaging articles received as a strip having individually filled pouches which are separated by transverse seals at opposite ends of the pouches characterized by severing the pouches and then depositing the pouches on a conveying device which transports the pouches to the receptacle in which they are stacked. Preferably, the apparatus utilizes a cutting device which comprises an index wheel and a cutting wheel with the index wheel being provided with suction heads to grip the severed pouches to transport them to a position above the conveying device where they are positively ejected onto the conveying device in two rows which are preferably overlapping to reduce the width of the two rows on the conveying device. In depositing the pouches on the conveying device, they are placed in a shingled relationship with the leading edge of each pouch overlapping and overlying the trailing edge of the preceding pouch and the conveying device includes a device for reversing the direction of the shingled pouches so that as the pouches are received by a chute for stacking in a receptacle, the trailing edge of each pouch is overlapping and overlying the leading edge of the following pouch.
