ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for taking up articles wherein the apparatus includes a receiving table with conveyor belts, an auxiliary member located thereabove and a holding assembly located above the article, wherein, for taking up the article, a pressing member of the holding assembly is pressed onto a rearward part of the article from above, and the auxiliary member is pressed against its upper front face, whereupon the auxiliary member is moved upwardly while still pressing against the article, thereby tilting the article about an axis located close to its upper rear edge, thus displacing the receiving table into the gap opening below the article and loading same onto its conveyor belts. The method allows the take up of package-shaped rigid articles, without requiring additional room behind the article and is especially suited for successively handling a plurality of articles located behind each other.
