ABSTRACT:
A load accumulator for accumulating a load which consists of a plurality of items and transferring the accumulated load into a receptacle of a carton loading machine. The accumulator has a load accumulator spool which has a plurality of pockets formed therein at circumferentially spaced intervals about its perimeter. A transfer channel extends circumferentially of the spool from its perimeter to a radial depth which is greater than that of the inner end of each pocket. A load accumulating platform is provided which has a load arresting extension which extends into the transfer channel and serves to arrest the movement of the load articles which are carried by the spool such that the load items are discharged onto the platform in a side-by-side relationship. A backstop is slidably mounted on the platform for movement toward and away from the spool. A front stop is arranged opposite the backstop and is mounted for movement between a retracted position in which it is located within the transfer channel inwardly of the inner end of the pockets and an advanced position in which it overlies the platform and is located outwardly from the perimeter of the spool to cooperate with the backstop to form lateral guideways for guiding the lateral transfer of the accumulated load from the platform into a receptacle. A pusher is located at one side of the platform for pushing the accumulated load along the lateral guideways into a receptacle located at the other side of the platform.
