ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for palletizing articles such as, for example, hollow cylindrical containers or the like is disclosed herein and includes an apparatus section positionable adjacent a support member such as a pallet and defining a receiving station and a sweep station for receiving a plurality of the containers and transferring the same to the support member. A conveyor extending from the receiving station into the sweep station and terminating adjacent the pallet is adapted for continuous movement during the operation of the apparatus so as to convey a first group of the containers from the receiving station to the sweep station and to aid in the transfer of the first group from the sweep station onto the pallet. A first overhead assembly, positioned above the sweep station and adapted to move along a predetermined at least partially angularly deviating endless path, is provided for engaging behind and with the group of containers located at the sweep station for pushing the group onto the pallet. In addition, a second overhead assembly positioned above the conveyor and in a vertical plane separating the receiving and sweep stations is provided for allowing initial conveyance of a second group of containers onto the sweep station after beginning the transfer of said first group onto said pallet but before completion thereof.
