ABSTRACT:
A machine for arranging flat articles in a stack and for placing the stack in a case. The machine includes endless flight supports mounted on opposite sides of a stack forming station and opposed flights mounted on the flight supports for supporting a stack of the articles therebetween. The stack is formed on the flights. The flights are lowered as the stack builds up thereon until a complete stack has been formed. The complete stack is lowered onto stack supports. First pusher means advance the complete stack from the stack supports onto a turntable having a pile face. A second stack starts to form on second flights as the first pusher means advances the complete stack from the stack supports and returns to a position for engaging the second stack when the second stack reaches the stack supports. The turntable can be turned 90.degree. and the stack is discharged from the turntable crosswise of the path of stack advance from the stack supports to the turntable. A case support holds a case with an open end of the case in the path of discharge of the stack from the turntable. Side guides are resiliently supported from side guide supports which overlie the turntable. Lower edges of the side guides are releasably held down against the pile face of the turntable.
