ABSTRACT:
A carton feeding apparatus delivers a stack of cartons from a supply thereof in a supply pocket located such that the bottom of the stack of cartons carried therein is at a first vertical level relative to a receiving conveyor located such that the bottom of a stack of cartons received thereby is located at a second vertical level higher than the first vertical level. The apparatus comprises outfeed apparatus located for delivering cartons to the conveyor and loader apparatus movable between a first position in registry with the supply pocket and a second position in registry with the outfeed apparatus for transporting a stack of cartons therebetween. A lift apparatus is provided for lifting a stack of cartons from the supply pocket to the loader apparatus. A transfer apparatus is provided for transferring a stack of cartons from the loader apparatus to the outfeed apparatus. Controls are provided for controlling a predetermined sequence of operation wherein successive stacks of cartons are initially lifted from the supply pocket to the loader apparatus and thereafter transferred from the loader apparatus to the outfeed apparatus at a rate sufficient to assure a continuous supply of cartons to the conveyor.
