ABSTRACT:
The invention provides improved apparatus for transferring articles from a transfer station to a receiving station which comprises gripping members including oppositely disposed elastic bands for gripping the sides of an article to be transferred, engagement members for displacing the elastic bands toward one another to grip the sides of the article at the transfer station, and transfer members for transferring the gripping members from the transfer station to a receiving station. The use of the oppositely disposed elastic bands renders the apparatus especially suitable for transferring fragile articles such as bakery products from a transfer station to a package or packaging station.
