ABSTRACT:
A loading system for loading articles into containers includes a container handling assembly and an article handling assemby, the paths of which intersect at a loading station. The container handling assembly carries a series of empty containers which it intermittently drives for moving the forwardmost one to the loading station while pushing a filled container from the loading station. The article handling assembly includes an input conveyor which moves the articles to a loading conveyor having alternating conveyor sections and window sections passing over the loading station. A platen carries a plurality of upwardly extending pins and is movable vertically between a receiving position with the pins disposed through complementary holes in the bottom of the container at the loading station and a depositing position wherein the pins are withdrawn from the openings in the container. Stop means accurately positions each container at the loading station and shifting means feeds articles from the conveyor section at the loading station and into and through the trailing window section to deposit them gently on the pins. A control system includes a plurality of solenoids, relays and sensing switches for synchronizing the operations of the container handling assembly and article handling assembly.
