ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for automatically depositing parallelepipedic articles into an upwardly open collecting hopper, carton or the like, including a pair of article support members pivoted in spaced opposed facing relation, the support members respectively having spaced upper and lower jaw members defining respective opposed channel areas. The support members reciprocate in synchronous opposed pivotal movement between an article supporting position wherein their channel areas open in facing relation for receiving and supporting articles at their lateral sides on the lower jaw members and an article depositing position wherein the channel areas open downwardly for releasing the articles to drop gravitationally into the hopper or carton. The upper jaw members are adapted to engage the upper lateral surfaces of the supported articles immediately upon release of the articles by the lower jaw members with sufficient force to engage and propel the articles downwardly during continued pivotal movement of the support member at a slightly greater speed than the initial acceleration of the articles due to gravity. In this manner, the support members maintain and deposit the articles in the hopper or carton in their original orientation as supported by the support members without misalignment or damage to the articles.
