ABSTRACT:
A feeder mechanism specially adapted for use in conjunction with plastic open-ended sleeve type article carriers includes a hopper (8) in which collapsed transversely folded sleeves (S) are stacked, the ends of the sleeves being folded upwardly along a transverse fold line (7) so that a minor shorter end portion (7a) of each sleeve is in outermost relation with respect to the hopper and to a major longer sleeve portion (7b), and a hollow, cylindrical rotatable feeder element (9) having a slot (10) arranged in parallel relation to its axis is disposed so that rotation of the feeder element in one direction causes the upper edge (1a) of the minor part of the sleeve to enter the slot so as to effect withdrawal of the sleeve from the hopper. A feed roll (23) is disposed below the feeder element and is arranged so that a sleeve withdrawn from the hopper is fed between the feed roll and the cylindrical feeder element and on to an endless conveyor (25) which operates in synchronism with the feeder element.
