ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for stacking articles in columns and loading the columns into conveyor buckets in side-by-side relationship in which articles are fed by a conveyor to a set of dual wheels having article engaging serrations. The wheels carry the articles downwardly and set them on edge on a pair of rails extending downwardly at an angle from between the wheels. An air blast starts the articles down the rails and air jets along the rails keep the articles upright and moving along the rails. The first article in the column is supported by a finger which extends upwardly between the rails and moves from the wheels toward a turret at a rate about equal to that of the growth of the column. The rails lead to a turret having its axis parallel to the rails and having pockets for receiving columns of articles. A conveyor positioned over the turret carries projecting plates which extend downwardly for supporting the article column as it is moved into the turret recess. The finger moves the column up to the turret at which point one of the plates receives the column until the column is completed. The plate is moved slowly and it then moves rapidly to the bottom of the turret.
