ABSTRACT:
The sequential formation of load patterns of certain configurations requires the removal from the pattern forming area of odd containers from between the patterns, as the patterns are automatically formed. To accomplish this, a reject conveyor, directed transversely to the direction of movement of the main feed conveyor, is located in the pattern forming area at the interface between the formed pattern and the pattern next to be formed. The containers are conveyed into the pattern forming area by the main conveyor such that the trailing edge of a first set of containers (formed load pattern), the leading edge of a second set of containers (load pattern next to be formed) and a third set of containers, comprising the containers between the load patterns (to be rejected), are situated on the reject conveyor. Retractable means are provided for engaging the containers in the first and second sets, respectively and for moving same in opposite directions along the main conveyor to locations remote from the reject conveyor. Thereafter, the reject conveyor is actuated to remove the third set of containers from the pattern forming area.
