ABSTRACT:
A drive mechanism for a vertical cartoner which has a plurality of adjustable pockets including a primary drive motor, a servo motor and a clutch assembly for adjusting the pockets to accommodate cartons of different widths. The primary drive motor rotates a pair of sprockets which move a pair of endless chains along a predetermined pathway. When the clutch is engaged, the primary drive motor also rotates the servo motor through a pair of bevel gears. However, when the clutch is disengaged, the primary drive motor is stopped and the servo motor is energized to rotate one sprocket with respect to the other to thereby adjust the pockets to accommodate cartons of a different width.
