ABSTRACT:
This is a box stacker which is related with a box shaping machine. The boxes come out at the bottom of the machine and drop by gravity onto a conveyor belt and are conveyed to one end of this belt where the stacker which is object of this invention is located. It has upright adjustable guides, two in front and two at the rear which correspond to the vertical corners of the box, and are at the same time coupled in pairs to two cross shanks respectively, which are in turn coupled at the end to the cross shafts which are joined by longitudinal screws. The screws turn in either direction and the upright guides will be adjusted to fit to the dimensions of the boxes. When one of these lies between the four upright guides, a pusher goes up and moves the box to allow room for another one and so on successively. When a stacked row has been formed, which is automatically counted, it will be moved by a pusher towards a platform which is formed by two plates at right angle.
