ABSTRACT:
A movable carriage or receptacle receives lemons or other products from a conveyor or the like, and as a quantity sufficient to fill a box or container is accumulated, the receptacle or carriage moves down to the box, with the fragile product being gently layered into the carriage or receptacle; and then the lower door of the carriage or receptacle opens slowly to completely fill the box or other container, with the product again being layered gently into the box with no dropping so that the boxes are packed full without damage to the product. An alternate arrangement uses a pivotal support member and an associated product feeding member to accomplish the same functions. Through the use of a triangular receptacle or carriage, with the final measurement taking place near the apex of the triangular space, very accurate measurement may be accomplished.
