ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a bottle packing apparatus wherein bottles are packed by simultaneous movement together of the array of bottles and the case. The bottles are packed from a conventional infeed conveyor and are divided into rows by the use of lane dividers. Bottle guiding plates define guiding channels which compress the rows of bottles toward the center of line of a conveyor. This compressed grouping of rows are then urged into a neck holding means which includes a suspension carriage carrying a first and second bar movable with respect thereto and defining bottle suspension slots for retaining the bottles in the neck area thereof. A sensing device is positioned adjacent the neck holding means which will initiate downward movement of the suspension carriage when the bottle suspension slots are sensed to a completely full condition and, simultaneously, a platform positioned therebelow carrying the case into which the bottles are to be packed moves upwardly for conflux movement between the suspension carriage and the platform. Once the bottles are placed in position within the case the first and second bars of the neck holding means separate releasing the bottles. The platform then moves downwardly and the suspension carriage moves upwardly for recycling.
