ABSTRACT:
A continuous motion machine for metering and loading groups of articles onto flat pads. The machine includes endless type infeed conveyors for advancing articles in a downstream direction to a dead plate and a row metering device intermediate the ends of the upper run of the infeed conveyor for retarding advance of the articles on the infeed conveyor and for releasing the articles one row at a time. An endless type overhead conveyor has flight bars pitched therealong and an inlet run extending downwardly toward the upper end of the infeed conveyor at a location downstream of the metering device and a lower run extending in the downstream direction above the infeed conveyor and above the dead plate. A pad conveyor is disposed below the dead plate and is operated to advance pads to a pad transfer passage intermediate the ends of the dead plate. The flight bars on the overhead conveyor each include a pad pusher and mechanism for moving the pad pusher to a raised position spaced above the infeed conveyor as the flight bars advance along the lower run toward the pad transfer passage and for moving the pad pusher to a lower position as the flight bar advances away from the pad transfer passage for engaging the trailing edge of the pad to advance the pad and container group thereon.
