ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for transferring elongated articles into the product buckets of a cartoner. The articles are conveyed single file and are diverted by a primary diverter into two diverter conveyors. The articles are thereafter pushed from the diverter conveyors into left and right accumulator stations onto conveyors moving transversely in opposite directions. The accumulator conveyors hold the articles side-by-side at the downstream end of the accumulator conveyors. A pusher bar pushes a group of articles from their ends longitudinally off the accumulator conveyor onto a dead plate which overlies the cartoner product bucket conveyor. A sweep bar sweeps the articles off the dead plate into the product buckets. The dead plate has a finger which projects alongside of the dead plate over which the ends of the articles ride so as to cause the articles to drop into the product buckets one end at a time, thereby providing better control over the position and orientation of the articles in the product buckets.
