ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for placing, in sequence, a finished disc record into an empty sleeve, the record-filled sleeve into an empty jacket, and the filled jacket on a stack of finished products. Two vertically reciprocating releasable holding heads are supported above and in registry with two of three adjacent stacks in a row. A movable carriage located between the heads and the stacks translates along the row in a predetermined operational sequence. A finished disc record is pushed transversely to the stack row into an open, empty sleeve held above a stack of empty sleeves by the sleeve holding head. After release of the filled sleeve by the sleeve holding head, the carriage supports the filled sleeve, transports it transversely, and by a continuing carriage motion, inserts the filled sleeve, still supported by a portion of the carriage, into an empty, open jacket held above a stack of empty jackets by the jacket holding head. Then the carriage transports the filled jacket to the end position above a finished-product stack, whereupon the holding heads descend. The sleeve holding head raises an empty sleeve from the sleeve stack; and the jacket holding head raises an empty jacket from the jacket stack. The carriage translates toward the sleeve stack to initiate another cycle, while a stripper block engages the filled jacket which drops onto the stack of finished products. The apparatus is part of an integrated record-press system as well as an attachment used in connection with an existing record press.
