ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for handling a succession of horizontally oriented bagged products, such as potato chips, arriving at the apparatus after a bagging operation. The apparatus includes a detection mechanism for detecting the arrival of each bag, upon which event the apparatus is activated. A series of flipper arms then move from a retracted position to contact the arrived bag and flip it upward and forward, to a substantially vertical orientation, after which the flipper arms retract and are repositioned below the bag-receiving surface, so as not to interfere with any incoming bag. A take-off belt is provided, and is synchronized with the flipper operation, so as to advance it an appropriate distance during part of the motion cycle of the flipper arms. This permits assembly of a column of vertically oriented bags, each in contact with the next. The operator can then remove the column of bags and easily transfer them to a packing carton.
