ABSTRACT:
A device for centering cases into which articles such as bottles are deposited from an article loading machine. The case into which the articles are to be deposited are fed by a conveyor to a position below a grid set upon which the articles are carried. The case is shifted longitudinally and laterally by means of movable arms to a centered position directly below the articles so that the articles are properly positioned for loading into the case. In one embodiment, the movable arms are connected as tongs which engage the front and rear edges of the case when shifting the case to the centered position. In another embodiment, the arms are in the form of space plates that are carried on spring loaded linkages that are positioned an equal distance from a centered position in alignment with the article loading machine. In a third embodiment, arms having inclined surfaces adjacent the ends thereof are manipulated by a power operated cylinder for shifting the case to the centered position. The devices are provided for centering cases of varying lengths being fed to the article loading machine in sequence.
